    So long Fess Parker. R.I.P.

    We never missed an episode of Davey Crockett or Daniel Boone, that I can remember, on Sunday nights on Walt Disney. And I remember watching almost all of them on the ol black and white tv too. Man that was a long time ago.

    I loved him too. May he rest in peace.

    Short Fess Parker story. I once when to a play with my wife. The tall man in front of her was making it impossible for her to see. She kept complaining to me. So, i switched seats with her.

    When intermission came, guess who was the tall man in front of her...you guess it..Fess Parker. She was ecstatic after that.

    Shoot. We're losing a lot of good old TV actors this week.
    Seems like Fess did some episodes of "Death Valley Days" too.
    Thank you for the coonskin cap memories, Mr. Parker. :salute:

    God speed!

    Fess Parker participated in a lot of the annual Davy Crockett Days pageants just up the road from in Rutherford which was the real Crockett's last home in Tennessee before he went to Texas. He'll be missed around here.

    Man! Peter Graves and now Fess Parker!

    Two of the old school actors. Just did their jobs well and left it at that.

    Hey All,

    RIP Fess Parker! I'll miss you. The very first 45 I ever won from a radio station was the Ballad of Davey Crockett sung by Fess Parker. I won it from KRBN Red Lodge Montana circa 1962 or 3 or so. Love that record and who can ever forget:

    Daniel Boone was a man
    Just a big man
    with an eye like an eagle
    and as tall as mountain was he...

    Is Mingo still alive or Rebecca?

    -Ed-
    My heroes have always been cowboys and they all carried guns-
    and they all rode horses-that is all but one.
    When he went to the rescue he flew a Cessna plane.
    His ranch was called the "Flying Crown" and "Sky King" was his name. -Jim Dilly-
