But not all who followed him finished their journey. For the best bingeable series, listen to the Audible True Crime podcast wherever you get your podcasts.
My parents met during World War Two in Florida. My father was a fighter pilot, training people to go off to war as he would eventually. love at first sight. They were married. That was nineteen forty six. I came along in nineteen fifty, but Very stable upbringing, nuclear family, very positive environment, about fifteen miles outside of Baltimore, we lived out in the country. I got good grades, probably not as good as my brother who was a year ahead of me in school, but I did just fine and I always felt like I could lead a successful life and even then looked ahead and thought probably would have a family of my own one day. From a very early age, I love the idea of creating things, whether you pick up a pencil and get a piece of paper and draw something.
My father was a fighter pilot. and I loved how he could pick up a pencil and he could draw an airplane. It it was fabulous. And my brother was a fairly good artist. So I was very fortunate that I had people around me who were making things, these wonderful creations that came to life on the page somehow. At some point in time, my father had this eight millimeter camera and My brother and I would take the eight millimeter camera and we would go off and do stop action stuff in the backyard and we would create our own version of James Bond movies and westerns and so that kind of very naturally led me to thinking that creativity was a direction I wanted to go into. I with some help decided to go to the Maryland Institute of Art in Baltimore.
I was very fortunate to take a job with the graphic design shop. Then I met some people who were in the advertising business, and the idea of creating ads and especially TV spots was something that I just thought I just have to do that. I just wanted so badly to do that.
