My blood, my inspiration, and my hero, Walter Fischer, Jr. passed away on November 29, 2008. He came to almost EVERY ONE of my shows, regardless of the weather or the drive. I miss him every day of my life. Every time I sang “My Way”, I dedicated it to him. He would close his eyes and I would see his tears start to trickle down his face. That was his song. The hardest thing I have ever had to do was to lose him. The world lost a great hero. He fought in the battle for Leyte Gulfduring World War II and was on the shore when Gen. Douglas MacArthur made his famous return to the Philippines. It was really something to touch an old Marine so deeply that he would shed a tear. I pray every day that I make him proud both in how I live my life, and through my performances. MacArthur once said “Old soldiersnever die, they just fade away…”. I will never let the memory of my grandfather fade away because every time I sing “My Way”, I do it in honor of a great

hero..a great soldier…a great Marine (Semper Fi)…and a great man…as well as a wonderful grandfather. HE is the reason I decided to join “Indiana’s Got Talent”. He would have loved to see me enter and would’ve been front and center at every contest. I hope my performances in the contest make him proud, because even though I may not be able to see him, I know he is there.
My basic reason for performing is simple. There a lot of people with a lot of problems in their lives. There are people that’d do ANYTHING to escape the pain in their lives, if even just for a moment or two. I want to be a way that they escape their pains. People who come to my shows often forget about their problems for at least the length of my show. That is all that I could ask. I hope to inspire others the way that grandpa inspired me. I want to make a difference in the world and bring a smile to people’s faces. I donate up to half of the money that I make as Elvis to churches and charities and I hope to be able to help out the Boys and Girls Club through this contest. Helping others and having fun are ALWAYS the best reasons to perform! Thank you for your time and consideration. God bless you all and I hope to see you at the show!
