My childhood hero was my grandpa. In fact he still is today. I hope to be half the man he is. kinda funny to think when i was little i wanted to wear cowboy boots and dress like him. Now as a dad i hope my kids look up to me as i do him. Heroes come and go but legends live forever.
I don't think I had a hero growing up. If I did, I can't remember who.
As I was starting to come into my own as a journalist, my hero became Dan Rather--I had saved a promo he did for a station I was working for where he mentioned my name!! I treasured that thing until I left the business and he got in trouble for supposedly making up negative stories about GWB.
These days, it's a combination of my dad and myself as I try to set an example for my own son.
