Ok. What's this?

"I believe that to have a friend, a man must be one.

That all men are created equal and that everyone
has within himself the power to make this a better world.

That God put the firewood there but that every
man must gather and light it himself.

In being prepared physically, mentally, and morally to
fight when necessary for that which is right.

That a man should make the most of what equipment he has.

That 'This government, of the people, by the people and
for the people' shall live always.

That men should live by the rule of what is best for the greatest number.


That sooner or later... somewhere...somehow...
we must settle with the world and
make payment for what we have taken.

That all things change but truth, and that truth alone, lives on forever.
In my Creator, my country, my fellow man."

But, I must confess, my ideal - indeed, my very identification was
tied to this show...

I so wanted to be Captain Adam Troy and own the Tiki III.

~~ TMI ~~

I even carved out a replica of the Tiki Troy wore around his neck with
the help of one of my uncles who was an artist.

I still wear it occasionally.

~~ Go ahead - I deserve it ~~
