This author knows that Erik Estrada, our beloved Ponch from classic TV's "CHiPs," is quite boisterous with the ladies at public appearances. I had the fun of hanging out with him at the Motor City Comic Con in Novi, Michigan, a little more than a decade ago. When Estrada came to the Mid-Atlantic Nostalgia Convention in Hunt Valley, Maryland, in 2017, it was the first time I had seen him since that crazy time in Metro Detroit when he hijacked a staffer's golf cart and wheeled around the convention floor. He was a bit more buttoned down in Maryland, but still likin' the ladies, and we know the ladies have always liked him! I was a little girl quite smitten when "CHiPs" originally aired.
But hey, enough about Ponch -- maybe his former colleague, Larry Wilcox, is the better subject to discuss these days. I saw a video recently where he explained his perspective of his relationship with Estrada with such grace and humility. I was quite impressed. So let's salute Mr. Wilcox, the other guy from "CHiPs," as an honorable man, and hearing his words in that other interview really made me watch my own clip here in a new light. I will say, too, that when I rewatched the series on streaming a couple years ago, I got a whole new appreciation for Jon.
Here, in what I realized is the most recent time I've been at this wonderful event in Maryland (I miss that show -- I really plan to return, one of these years!), Mr. Wilcox answers my question about what he's been doing in more recent years ...
