Was it the show, the stories, or the trick gun? (I always wondered why the rest of the TV westerners didn't do the same thing, considering how often that extra shell bailed him out! Of course, as I got older, I always wondered if anyone would have a hand after firing a shotgun shell from a handgun! But I digress.) I do know the song is still with me. So if nothing else, he has left something with the world from a single season so long ago. Thank you for letting me know that another old partner (oh, let's be honest - another MENTOR) has passed on. ---Russ I have no idea why I think of this show so often.

Thank you for letting me know that another old partner (oh, let’s be honest - another MENTOR) has passed on.
