I used to watch him on "Captain Gallant of the Foreign Legion" with his real son Cullen playing his son. I didn't have a dad so I was jealous.

The only actor who ever played Tarzan, buck Roger's and flash Gordon, looked very good doing it too.

He had a huge camp in Onchiota NY where he would have kids come from the cities and he had recreational outdoor activities for them. He did a lot for kids.

Surprised to see this trivia question. It’s not often you see a question about your relatives; especially when their accomplishments are relatively’simple’, oh and it’s pronounced Crabe, with a long “a” and silent “e”. Maybe one day I’ll read about the many international athletic accomplishments my father achieved in archery.

gamehappy0728, Buster was the 1st Tarzan for a short while, but Weissmuller became the favorite and yes, was an excellent swimmer too.
