Default O/T: King of the Wild Frontier

Back when I had to be experimented on by the Feds - first version
of polio shots - the famous "Monkey Blood" shots - San Diego
The whole school was bussed downtown to a warehouse.

After the scare of my life, we left looking for the bus line to
take us back. - Mom had to be with older sister and I for legal
purposes.

I got my 'coon' skin hat and still have that baby.
It was rabbit but heck - it looked good. Davy Crockett.

Those days were simple compared to todays.

The king is gone.
Fes Parker died?
Yep. He had a good run though.

Damn.
Not more than a month ago I sent one of the Disney/Fes Parker/Davey
Crockett DVDs to a childhood friend of mine. It was a joke gift but 50
years ago that friend and I were all about Davey Crockett and the Alamo
and such.
Damn.

Dave in Houston


Back when there were only 3 channels on the TV, Disney and Davey ruled
Sunday nights. Every kid was singin' the Davey Crockett song. The naivety of
growing up with Davey Crockett and "Leave it to Beaver" morals was
something, life was simpler then.
