I just read that Fess Parker died today. Man he was one of my all time boyhood heros, I had the coonskin cap and ol' Besty and kilt lots of bears in my backyard

" Born on a mountain top in Tennessee ....."

Davey , Davey Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier!

and

Daniel Boone was a man,
Yes, a big man!
And he fought for America
To make all Americans Free

Yep , he was a favorite of mine as Daniel Boone

Their is something about a guy whose screen name is "inthehole" doing a death notice on Fess Parker that I just cant shake.

And you are implying what?

Another boyhood idol is gone. last night I had to explain to my 18 year old daughter a hockey fanatic, why Bobby Orr was better than Sid Crosby who I like, but man I feel old.
