Good-bye Captain 11
One man in each century is given the power to control time. The man chosen to receive this power is carefully selected. He must be kind. He must be fair. He must be brave. You have fulfilled these requirements; and, we of the Outer Galaxies designate to you the wisdom of Solomon and the strength of Atlass. You are Captain 11!
Gosh, I got the sad news that Dave Dedrick passed away. That certainly took me back to a childhood in South Dakota where my aftenoon routine consisted of sitting in front of the tv to tune into Captain 11. In those days, we only had 3 tv stations to choose from. There were no 24 hour a day kid’s stations. So a kid’s show with cartoons was a rare treat we had to work into our schedules.
Captain 11 ran for 40 years, making it the longest running kid’s show on television. If you grew up in the KELO-11 area, you certainly have fond memories of this show, and of Captian 11 (Dave Dedrick). In case you did not realize it, because he looked different out of his Captain 11 suit, Dave Dedrick was also the KELO weatherman.
