Arthur;
I think Joe was about my age, maybe a little younger. I will try to get ahold of some of the people that I still know in Hollywood, if they still alive and try to find out what happened to him, I would like to know myself.

Arthur;
Years ago I had a friend that had gone to school with Yakima Canutt's son Joe in the L.A. area, and when they came to Phoenix I took him on a tour by Aircraft of the Salt River Valley where Phoenix is located, and had a lot of time to talk to him about Chariot Race and the Film Ben Hur, and when he jumped the one Chariot while doubling for Heston and almost was thrown over the front of the Chariot and into the horses. He said that it was mighty close but they pulled it off!
He also said that Heston did most of driving of the Chariot in the race, but did not do any of the things that were too dangerous. That was one Great Chariot Race!!!Bill
