. . . and now he's gone. I just found out that Fess Parker died yesterday. I'm sad. I loved him in Daniel Boone and it was because of that show that I read everything about Rebecca Boone that I could get my hands on when I was 9. 85 is a good long life - but I'm still sorry to see him go.



(Of course the real Daniel Boone never wore a coonskin cap - but it was a cool image to a kid watching tv. Here's a painting I've always liked: Daniel Boone Escorting Settlers Through the Cumberland Gap by George C. Bingham:

If you never watched Daniel Boone, you might remember Fess Parker better as "Davey - Davey Crockett - King of the Wild Frontier."
