We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

It is always sad to learn of the passing of an icon.

I strapped on my Mattel Shootin Shell Fanner and helped him outdraw the bad guy at the start of each episode .
Rest in peace Marshall Dillon!

His younger brother (fairly widely known, but certainly not known by everyone) was Peter Graves (of Mission Impossible fame). Peter died just over a year ago of a heart attack.
I was well into my 30s before I knew they were related. Just last week, before James' death, I watched a few older episodes of Gunsmoke. I was struck for the first time how much they actually resembled one another, but especially how much they sounded exactly alike.
