| Captain Kirk -- Halloween 1998. |
| Chappy Moore -- I was a speaker at my high school football coach's retirement dinner in 1994. Go figure, he came out of retirement about two years ago and is back with Notre Dame HS and winning (again). |
| Christopher Burns -- I started my nephew off early (1999). Now he's a big Superman fan, too. |
| Columbus, Ohio -- One of the longest two weeks in my life, in the summer of 1996. I got to run the press operations at this tournament, but Columbus in July ain't exactly a fun spot. |

| Jenny McCarthy -- JHD & the Playmate of the Year, from a 1995 Chicago Playboy reception. Who wouldn't want to pose with the Playmate of the Year at a party with a ton of Playboy centerfolds? Hard to believe, but I did enjoy it. |
| JHD @ The Grand Canyon -- November, 1997 -- Top of the World, Ma! A one-day trip out of Vegas to the Grand Canyon. I'm wearing a Big East Conference windbreaker, but boy, was it cold up there. |
| JHD @ Tokyo Disneyland -- With my guide, Naoko Miyamoto (Nov. 1996). We're at the top of the Thunder Mountain Railroad ride, with the castle at the back. I think I was the only Westerner within miles of the park that day. |

| Jimmy Connors & JHD -- I've just introduced Jimmy Connors at a press conference for the Big Bear Champions tennis tournament (1996) in Columbus, Ohio. That's Guillermo Vilas checking out the girls at left. |
| John McEnroe -- That's me trying to convince John to pose for a publicity photo with a baby lion. Guess who was tougher to deal with? |
| Kerry Kittles -- Taking a break from a long bus ride, up in the wilds outside of Anchorage. This is from November 1994, at the Great Alaska Shootout. It was cold (too cold). No, he didn't steal my phone card. I was just a patsy. |
| Marty Stern -- Uncle Marty was another of my best friends at Villanova. He was one of the most successful track & field coaches in the country, and after the late Jim Elliott, the best track coach Villanova ever had. I never had more fun working with a coach than I di |

| Superman's Father -- Young JHD (age 13) meeting Jerry Siegel, co-creator of Superman. This was at the 1976 Superman Convention, in New York. I don't think Mr. Siegel appreciated the Batman & Robin pin I was wearing. |
| The Class of 1995 -- Sharon Staszak (left), Christy Foster (middle), JHD, Steve Repko (right), Jim Dunn (middle) and Rich Fela (right). All were seniors working with me in my last year at Villanova, and remain friends in my heart to this day. |
