    Default R.I.P. Fess Parker

    You've got to be an old goat to know who he was but if you were around and old enough in the '50s chances are you were wearing a coonskin cap.

    Fess Parker, Who as Davy Crockett Set Off Coonskin Cap Craze, Dies at 85 - Obituary (Obit) - NYTimes.com
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    Used to watch him as Dan'l Boone in the 60's too.
    RIP Fess.

    I also believe he owned his own wine label. And if he did own the Fess Parker vineyard? i will miss his Pinot Noir

    Default R.I.P Fess Parker

    Ladies and gentlemen:

    I am saddened at Fess Parker's passing.

    I met him in Vietnam when he visited the troops and found him to be a kind and gracious gentleman.

    May he rest in peace.

    Regards,
    Obie
