My children and I were privileged to met Max Baer, Jr. on the beach at Santa Monica in 1980. I had no idea who he was. All I saw was this extremely handsome man who stopped to talk to us while he was walking the beach. Apparently he saw us get out of our motor home that had Kansas plates on it. I was so nervous I couldn’t form a coherent sentence. After he left my children were so excited and informed me that he was Max Baer, Jr. who played Jethro. I’m still not sure but the man sure looked like him.
I named my weiner after your BH character… on account that, like Jethro, it was big, young, dumb… and full of c*m. Hahaha. Love you man!
