Elton Rokusek often wondered what his life might have been like if he hadn't been born with a large hemangioma that covers much of the right side of his face and head. In the 1970s Elton met Red Skelton who was curious about what had happened to him. When Elton explained his disfigurement, Red encouraged him to reach his potential. "He told me I was a star in my own life, that everyone is a star if they can see the things in their life that are special."
