Friends, near or far, are important to us. All of ours have an awareness of other persons' feelings, a courtesy that's inevitable. When I find that consideration in a fan, I'm immediately impressed.

I met Cynthia when I was 12, proposed at 16, became engaged at 17, married her at 19 and we had a baby when I was 20. If extra work could pay for a lot of diapers, that was for me.

I'll admit I wanted to be a pilot, originally.

I'm interested in raw land and trees and fresh air and rivers and lots of animals around them.

A policeman, as you discover, has to put up with a hell of a lot of abuse. A man in any other line of work would nail a guy who laid that kind of abuse on him. I know I would.

I want my children to live in the country, to be a part of nature.

I longed to fly. I was paid in flying lessons and, by the time I was 13, I'd logged 100 hours at the controls.
