Jacques Cousteau and a few other wildlife personalities....followed closely by G.I. Joe......lol
I always loved the Jacques Cousteau specials. We have a marine archeaologist here as a member who I believe was influenced by him as well.

he was a pioneer in that field of research, his research and contributions played a vital part in where the field of marine biology and conservation are today.

Andy Griffith and Gene Berry both played inspiring lawyers. As a kid I wanted to become a lawyer. I did get a paralegal degree lol. Didn’t make it any further in that field. I always wanted barbies car and wardrobe :p

Yes, and it was the characters of Star Trek.

At about age 30 my closest friends actually voted me, “Most Likely to be Confused with Mr. Spock.”

What they didn’t know about my logical demeanor is that it mostly came from my attempts to work against my telepathic and empathetic episodes.

However, now that I think about it again at age 55, I realize Mr. Spock could both read minds and feel other’s emotions through his Vulcan Mind Melds.

Good point Lynne. But given the chance to do it over, I’d need a username that describes me as the Love Child offspring of Mr. Spock and Counselor Deanna Troi - reserved in manner but always reading everyones’ thoughts!
