Hammerin' Hank: 1934 - Hank Aaron, baseball player (record 755 HRs, 1957 NL MVP) The last of the true "clean" HR record setters.

A class act and a gentleman is all aspects of his life!

Steed...and, of course, Mr. Stendahl!

“I'm being ironic. Never interrupt a man when he's being ironic, it's not polite.”

One of the greatest lines of all times and most ironic scenes in Mr. Bradbury's works. It captures all he represented and taught us for so many years!!

The "very first word" Lon Chaney, Sr. learned was the same one Mr. Bradbury lived by, also!

An interesting narration by Lon Chaney, Jr., a class act way back then - too oft not seen in so many performers today.

Who knew we had two happy birthday threads? (Not me!)
