The Hero Interviews

Show me the man you honour, and I will know what kind of man you are.’ – Thomas Carlyle

The Hero Interviews series asks two questions of people in the hope of showing what effect heroes have on our lives.

1) Who was your hero as a child and why?

2) Who is your hero now and why?

If you’d like to participate in the series, feel free to answer the questions and send them to me in an email.

    My childhood hero
    was baseball player, Ted Williams of the Boston Red Sox, in the 1940’s and 50’s

    because he was unconventional, never wore a tie, did not cater to the media, focused fully on his craft at which he excelled,
    also he left baseball twice to serve in the military at the height of his career, it was a noble sacrifice. Also he was skinny when he started major league ball, as was I, and I was also a good hitter, but primarily softball.

    My hero as a child was Margaret Thatcher, first woman Prime Minister in UK. And all that she done while in office.

    Margaret Thatcher is still my hero as an adult.
