Who was your childhood hero? Did you want to be like Mike? Perhaps you thought Muhammad Ali was the greatest? Maybe you were wrapped up in Hulkamania? As kids, we all have people that we consider to be our heroes. When I was a kid my idea of a hero was fleeting at best. Ozzie Smith, Michael Jordan, Joe Montana, Mark McGwire, Wolverine, Batman, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Bruce Lee and the list goes on and on. All of these people/characters were heroes for me at one time or another. Some lasted for years, some for a few months, but I placed each one on a pedestal at some point in my life. As I grew older, my idea of what a hero is changed and then, my grandfather became my hero.
