Sailplane pilot who wandered across the Iron Curtain in the 1960's.
I didn't get to watch much TV as a kid, my dad made me sit in my room and read books with a dictionary and Thesaurus, hence my magnificant SAT verbal score, but I digress. I find Youtube to be quite entertaining, moreso than much of current crop of garbage on TV and in watching some old shows I came across an edition of "To Tell the Truth," featuring a sailplane pilot who accidently flew into commie land during a World Championship in Germany in 1960 or thereabouts. Go to YOUTUBE and search for "To Tell The Truth, Sailplane pilot." Guy's name was Dick Streeter of Strieter... Perhaps some of the older guys here might have known him.
