I was on the Skipper Chuck show (real name was Popeye's Playhouse, but everyone called it the Skipper Chuck show) 3 times, and actually won a game on there the 2nd time. I met all of the characters face to face. It was a cool time (for a 5 or 6 year old) :up:

 

Many people don't know that Capt Kangaroo was actually a highly decorated WW2 war hero. A marine - Semper Fi ! :up:

 

I just finished watching an interview with Keeshan and he never mentioned being in the Marines so I took a look online and found that he join the Marines but never saw combat action. He enlisted just before the bomb was dropped on Japan. But I did learn something new while doing the search. Lee Marvin served in the Pacific theater, was awarded a purple heart and is buried at Arlington. :)
