Loved Baa Baa Blacksheep growing up.

Sorry about this. Wild, Wild West was one of my favorites.

A show clip...with the real Pappy Boyington making an appearance at the end.

Conrad and the real Boyington.

Definitely old school because he was a clay target shooter, and appeared freely at various charity shoots.

I thought Wild Wild West was one of the coolest shows like ever! Private train. Cool gadgets. Secret Service? Lovelace was one of the best adversaries...

And don't forget the battle of the network stars!

Lol. I vividly remember watching that episode as a kid. I was team ABC all the way (Wonder woman AND Farrah.. ). I thought Conrad was a total jerk with his whinning. When he and Gabe lined up I figured Conrad would dust him. Everytime I've heard his name (Conrad's) I remembered that episode. Loved Wild Wild West. (Glad Gabe smoked him). RIP

Remember the mini series Centennial? He played the french trapper Pasquinel. Did a great job.

He always seemed like he would be “one of us” . Great , tough guy. Loved him as Pappy Boyington .

Clear skies and tail winds, Pappy.

Referring to my earlier post, how in Hell are you going to keep a 13 year old's attention to trigonometry when they just watched F4U Corsairs shoot down a bunch of Jap Zeros the night before? That teacher was doomed.

Wow you were learning about triggers in middle school?
