Chuck Connors - Believe It Or Not!

Exciting news -- Ripley's Believe It Or Not! published my very own father's submission today!

Ripley's Believe It Or Not! November 10, 2014

My dad (DC from Miami, FL) submitted the above "Believe It Or Not!" about "The Rifleman" Chuck Connors, the star of one of dad's favorite childhood TV shows; an actor, professional basketball player AND a professional baseball player -- talk about a triple threat!

Pretty Great -- Opening to "The Rifleman"

My dad and I share a great love for the weird and wacky ways of the Ripley's Empire, so my dad getting a submission into the "Believe It Or Not!" comic is pretty great news.

One of my favorite books of 2013 was Neal Thompson's A Curious Man: The Strange and Brilliant Life of Robert "Believe It Or Not!" Ripley. It might just be one of my favorite biographies I've ever read -- it's totally inspirational, insane and, yes, beyond belief. 

What a life Robert Ripley lived -- and what a legacy he left behind. One that, I'm proud to say, my father has now helped grow by making sure Chuck Connors gets his due!
