T.O.D - CHARLTON HESTON
I guess we can all now take that gun from his cold dead hand. No matter what I thought of the mans love for guns or his political beliefs. The man could act his ass off.
The Lodge would like to recognize Chuck Heston as the second memeber of the All Star Train of Death Team. Heston was born John Charles Carter in Evanston, Illinois, on Oct. 4th 1923, the son of Lilla (née Charlton) and Russell Whitford Carter, a mill operator.
In 1944, Heston enlisted in the United States Army Air Forces. He served for two years as a B-25 radio operator/gunner stationed in the Alaskan Aleutian Islands with the Eleventh Air Force, rising to the rank of Staff Sergeant.
The Heston our parents know was Larger than life on the big screen. Playing historical figures like Julius Ceaser, Moses, and El Cid. I remember always trying to stay up and watch all of The Ten Commandments on ABC every Easter weekend. I never made it past the parting of the Red Sea. Heston won the Academy Award for Best Actor for his role in Ben Hur.
The Heston the Lodge knows is the one of Sci-fi stong men. The Goose, I'm sure can tell you all about his feeling on Planet of the Apes. Heston seemed to seek out Sci-fi loner roles of the late 60's and 70's. He stared in cult favorites like Soylent Green and Omega Man. These films also gave us such memorable lines as the one on the POD and " Soylent Green is People."

The Lodge has to recognize the fact that Heston has been with us since the beginning. He guided us through our first Lodge outing, in Vegas no less. Who can forget the Battle of Midway ? I remember the conversation like it was yesterday.
Sahara Hotel
Goose: You want to play some blackjack?
Train: Na, I'm a little tired. What's on TV. Awesome, Midway's on.
Goose: Sweet!
LATER THAT DAY. GOOSE AND TRAIN GET IN THE ELEVATOR WITH JOE AND JIMBO.
Goose: What did you guys do?
Joe: took a nap
Jimbo: I watched Midway
Goose: Sweet, so did we.
Train: Heston can F'n act.
Joe: I want some Peach Schnappes!

Forgot the Midway in Vegas. That was the beginning.
And Joe taking a nap proves what a chick he is. You don't nap in Vegas.
FYI. I'll let you all know what will be my Bottle of Choice. Thank god for Mario Chalmers, lets just say I work up the Gosslings I yelled so loud.
My 1st Lodge Green Jacket....this must be how 2.0 felt when he won the earthlink XFL title
The shot to go into OT broke my heart... and lost me one Benjamin. Sad night. Plus, I couldn't watch it live because I was in class. Lame.
