As I understand it, Joel Silberberg's heart just exploded one day. He had really high blood pressure and was a really excitable boy, to boot. I don't know how he got into the biz, but I remember him telling me about being a door gunner on a chopper in Viet Nam at age seventeen. He said he knew he had made a bad choice when he was first flying into the country and his plane almost ran out of gas waiting for the bombing to stop at the airport so they could land. He's the same guy who flipped out over a Great Blue Heron in the yard at a party one time at Crystal River . He thought it was an eagle. (He had grown up in the Bronx and didn't get outdoors much.)
