The only thing I remember about Captain Kangaroo is when he forgot to turn off his microphone and made the statement, "Well I guess that takes care of the little bastards another day", at the end of one of his shows.

But back to the guys you never expect subject, when, "To Hell and Back", first came out, I asked my father why they let a little wimpy actor like that play the part of a military hero.

Never happened. Another urban legend.

Wrong guy. The one who did that ran the Buster Brown show "I'm Buster Brown. I live in a shoe. That's my dog Tighe. Look for him in there, too." The same one who worked with Froggie, "Plunk your magic twanger, Froggie."

About the guys you never expect.

My stepdad(real dad died young)didn't know that his father had been awarded the Medal of Honor until after he died.

The Medal was awarded for his actions during the Boxer Rebellion and has now been placed in a Naval Museum.
