Monday Morning Random Fact

My Random Fact is about my Dad, in honor of Father's Day.

Back in college my Dad into acting. He performed (and starred) in many plays at Dartmouth College. While he was in college he became friends with the girlfriend of a Hollywood screen writer who worked on "The Graduate". My Dad was given the opportunity to audition for the role of Benjamin Braddock. The story is that he was one of the final three they considered seriously for the role. Hoffman was an unknown at the time he auditioned for the movie and it pretty much set his Hollywood career in motion. My Dad could have had Dustin Hoffman's life!!!! But then would I be here? Koo, Koo, Katchoo!

Hope you had a happy Father's Day!
