Yea, I misread that too but gotta say, who cares? He was just an actor, I know plenty of way better people that have died and didn't make the news.

Conrad, however, did play the ace (was the face) and inspired more than one AH player. I really enjoyed BBB. He wasn't a perfect guy in real life but who really is? Like most of the celebrities that pass and I post about, it's up to the individuals of the community to choose to add if they want to recognize or not. You won't generally see me posting about the deaths of evil or notorious people.

Robert Conrad inspired plenty of pilots.

My dad's house in glenview was a converted barn formerly owned by Robert Conrad's dad.   

Conrad Sr. had a legit radio station run out of the garage.

Happen to come across this page related to the Corsairs of the show.

Far too many, if not most, people on this Board post just to say something opposed to posting when they have something to say.
