I know…I’m dating myself, telling you this story.
But then…You need to know my motivation for reading Henry’s story, right?
Back to Tuesday nights…
I was like any swooning girl, when Henry Winkler’s Fonzie entered the screen. How could we not resist, the super-cool, loyal guy wearing the infamous leather jacket? (Now part of the Smithsonian Museum collection in Washington, D.C.)
Besides…When the Fonz spoke, people listened.
