What is it like being a “Radicia’’? Well, who would know better than a
Radicia.
When Dan Radicia, the second youngest in his clan, was confronted he said,
“Sure is heck trying to get into the bathroom!’’ But he believed it has paid off
having a large family. There’s a lot of support and motivation. It was the fam­
ily support that kept Radicia going. He said his oldest brother John served
as an inspiration. Radicia said he idolized his brother and his dad.
During 1984 Radicia was in “Rock Around The Block’’. He said he
enjoyed the role of Beaver because it was a lot like himself, courteous
in front of the adults, yet cool in front of his peers. The first perfor­
mance was scary, but afterwards he did it for the audience and it
was fun. Enriching his dramatic skills was a goal of Radicia’s. His future
plans in high school were to get a scholarship in wrestling. He would
possibly like to go to college and become an engineer. He also intended
to treat everybody the way he wanted to be treated, because this was a
main value of Radicia’s.
