The hero of Frostbite Falls, this aerial speedster's statue adorns the town square, and his portrait-done in colored bottle caps-hangs proudly in the general store.

But Rocky was not actually born in Frostbite Falls. Rather, he originally hails from Winnemucca, Nevada, and didn't even see a tree until he was nine years old. Up to that time, he was forced to hide nuts in a hollow cactus. Rocky's amazing flying skills developed when he was caught up by a particularly powerful Nevada zephyr. He didn't touch the ground again until he had reached chilly Frostbite, Minnesota.

Educated in the finest private schools (back before public schools accepted squirrels), Rocky went on to attend Julliard, where he majored in Snare Drums. He finished his education at Cal Tech (Calvin's School of Supermarket Technology).

Rocky is the three-time winner of the Junior Birdmen Trophy for Cross-Country Flying by a Small Mammal Wearing Goggles, and was recently named the mascot of the Air Force's 319th Garbage Disposal and Sanitation Wing.
