Well, here is hoping it starts off a whole new western heyday. Perhaps it will get the young 'uns to care enough to watch the old ones....have to or one day, they will die. God forbid! KEITH

Not sure Bill, but here is a sketch I did of him. Not the greatest but I had just begun to sketch people. There are three pages of sketches and text at: http://www.dukewayne.com/showt…=sketch+prizes#post118889 Ever heard him sing? Keith

Quote from BillLongley

Maybe the greatest actress ever made a guest appearance on "Gunsmoke", arguably, of course. Bette Davis. I have admired her since "The Petrified Forrest".

You guys have been far more steeped in these areas so I will ask, will anyone give me a line on the boot style, holster, and firearm Festus wears/uses?

I figure the gun is a GWA in .45 Colt, it appears to be a 4 3/4" version, the holster is an Arvo Ojala? What about the boots? Corrections are VERY welcomed.

I love "Gunsmoke" in both the Radio and Television versions.
