Bellhop. I was a bellhop at the Clemson House hotel in the summer of '64.

Jesus.

Personal Hero and Why:

Davy Crockett. He was a member of Congress from the Kentucky-Tennessee area, like I'd like to be; when it came to his last days, he took a hero's stand and died a hero's death in the Alamo according to the most credible accounts--which I believe.
