Rosey Grier! I haven't heard that name in some time. When I was a kid I remember seeing him on Sesame Street singing, "It's All Right to Cry."
What I didn't know (just found out on wiki) is that he was one of RFK's bodyguards and helped subdue Sirhan Sirhan.
"Grier and Olympic gold medalist Rafer Johnson heard shots fired ahead of them. Reacting first, Johnson subdued the shooter followed by Grier (as seen in official White House archives. As Johnson grabbed the gun, Grier placed his hand over Johnson's to help secure the weapon. Grier later said, "I grabbed the man's legs and dragged him onto a table. There was a guy angrily twisting the killer's legs and other angry faces coming towards him, as though they were going to tear him to pieces. I fought them off. I would not allow more violence.""
awesome
The advantage of living with an adult with Dawn Syndrome; I get to embrace my inner 4 year old every day. Everything is a wonder to my brother!
