Who Do you idolize and why
Hart Crane-I like his writing and alcoholism and the fact that he jumped off of a boat to commit suicide. Its better to burn out than to fade away. I'd like to think that I could end it in some sort of crazy fashion of sorts.
MY Favor of all times, and his legacy, and History, still touches allot of Souls, His name Jesus Christ, & Abraham,Moses,Joshua,King David,Martin Luther King,The many Mighty Mans, and Warriors,of God .
Although I do not idolize anyone, I have great respect for several people that have qualities I would like to gain.
Mother Teresa, for her kind and generous spirit.
Ghandi, for his peaceful nature
Katherin Hepburn, for her courageous and strong spirit
My sponsor, for the ability to apply the program of AA in all she does.
and the list could go on and on.

Andre Stander (1946 – 13 February 1984) was a police Captain at the CID branch of Kempton Park Police Station, South Africa who began robbing banks in the 1970s, and later became known in popular media as the head of the Stander Gang in the early 1980s. His father, Frans Stander, was a general in the South African Department of Correctional Services.
Andre became well-known for the audacious manner with which he carried out his crimes: He would sometimes rob banks on his lunch hour, and he would often return to the scene of the crime as an investigating officer.[1]
After robbing nearly 30 banks, Andre Stander was sentenced to 75 years in prison in 1980.[1] Stander met two inmates named Allan Heyl and Lee McCall.[1] On August 11, 1983, Stander and McCall, along with five other inmates, were taken off of Zonderwater maximum security prison's premises for an appointment with a physiotherapist. Once the prisoners were left alone with the doctor, Stander and McCall overpowered her and escaped. The other prisoners refused to participate and stayed behind.[2] Stander and McCall returned to Zonderwater on October 31, 1983, in order to spring Allen Heyl from the facility where he was taking a trade test. From that day until the end of January, 1984, the three began robbing banks together, under the nom de guerre of The Stander Gang (which was a creation of the news media, not of the gang).
