Where do I start? Admiral Richard Byrd (first to fly to South Pole) John Glenn (dad’s fishing buddy) Gus Grissom (dad’s fishing buddy) Alan Shepard (dad’s fishing buddy) Sarah Lee (my father’s 1st cousin) Martin Denny (Jazz musician buddy of my dad) Dave Brubeck (Jazz musician buddy of my dad)

Makes me think your dad must be Dr. Benton Quest. :)

My dad made friends easily.
I almost forgot another celebrity who was friends with my mom’s family.
Rod Serling’s family lived next door to my grandparents; my mom grew up with Rod. My grandmother used to babysit Rod Serling and his parents would babysit my mom. I only met him twice though.
