Charlton Heston, RIP

I had the opportunity to spend a day with Charlton Heston in 1992, as we flew round California in a small plane with Bruce Herschensohn attending multiple events during Herschensohn's campaign for US Senate. I found the man to be unpretentious, genuine, intelligent and nice. We discussed the Middle East and other issues during the day. A deeply religious and caring man. May he rest in peace.

Heston, a conservative in the truest sense, marched with Dr. Martin Luther King in 1963 in support of equal rights for African Americans. Above is a photo of Heston with Sidney Portie and Harry Belafonte during King's famous "I have a Dream" speech at the Lincoln Memorial.
