Say it ain’t so, Joe! 
Another piece of my youth has passed. I can’t tell you the number of hours spent in front of that old black and white Muntz TV daydreaming about being Davie’s sidekick.
But, damn! Davy Crockett? For those of you too young to remember – and I’m positive it is the majority – Davey was a staple of TV programming in the 50s. Fess Parker, who starred as the frontiersman, died at the age of 85 at his home in Santa Ynez. Boy, what childhood memories: coonskin caps; Davy Crockett lunch boxes; toy Old Betsy rifles; and buckskin shirts.
But Davey Crockett!? Who’da thunk it? I guess we are all getting older by the day and that’s a good thing ‘cause it beats the alternative.
Brings up a relevant question: who was/is your childhood hero on the small screen and/or the big screen? Did they influence your desire to write? Let me know as you,
Keep Writing!
