11. My father was a dead-ringer for Bob Crane.

His name, like mine, was Bob, too. So often, when we'd go out to eat and patrons near our table heard my mother call him Bob, there would be a flurry of whispers in the air, and on at least one occasion, someone came up to the table to ask my Dad if he was Bob Crane.

That stopped after Crane was murdered, of course. But people marveled at my Dad's resemblance to Crane until he died, too.
