Quote from The Tennesseean

Did you notice near the end of Hondo...Jim Arness has words with JW and WB, and he goes off calling out to the "other" scouts?

He hollers out "Wilson, McGrath, Heyward...get over here!!" I just noticed it when I say it on HDNet a few days ago!!

LOL, yes Russ, I mentioned that a few months ago when I first saw Hondo.
Nice to bring it up again though...........seems as if he said Johnson, (meaning Ben), also......I know he said ONE name who was not in the actual movie.
Hondo had told him to take...I think....four men and go bring the other settlers. Been a while since I have seen it. But when I had Netflix, I watched it about 50 times before I sent it back LOL.......just looking for stuntmen and enjoying a great movie! Nice to hear that someone else noticed. Don't think anyone commented on it when I posted it! HAGO, KEITH

Alamo, forgot....Ward was tall, but check this pic out. And Terry is actually a tiny bit behind Ward.

Well, Alamo, you just told me something I didn't know...thanks...will put it in my files. Didn't know Glenn died before it ended. Netflix lost Gunsmoke before I got to the end.

Yes, Terry did double Duke. I thought he was better than the two Chucks....but he was on to other things. He, like Frank McGrath were EXCELLENT riders and never got the credit that Ben did.....although, I did get Boyd to admit that on the phone a while back.

HAGO, Keith

LOL, no, they are stuntmen. Bill something...forgot the other. Pat and I will have lots more talks.
When I asked her how well she knew Terry Wilson, (Bill Hawks on Wagon Train), she said, "Oh, Uncle Terry....he was my favorite." Frank McGrath, (Wooster), used to come see them all the time also....she just said he was a very kind and gentle man,(must not have been at the Vodka). She said she hadn't talked to Dobe and Marilyn Carey for about two years.....I told her the kids had to put them in a home. She was sad.

Not sure about the location, but she said that Uncle Terry, (who started her bronze horse collection), use to drive her around....from LA to Santa Anna Ranch......Think that is where Fred kept his horses. I said that Terry was a much larger man than most people thought and was strong as an ox. She agreed as most people did NOT realize that.

Oh, the stories.....have to be patient! Has more pics of other folks for me also. Keith

I believe these are new pictures of Fred.....not new, but I don't think they were posted here before. If they were, just ignore them, LOL!

I got them from his step-daughter. She knew all the stunt folks, the stable owners, falling horses,etc............SUPER find for my book! I THINK Fred and Terry Wilson were good friends.....

This was for a short to show that falling horses were not hurt.

Here is Fred directing the cameraman:

Start of fall

Almost down

Everybody OK

Fred early 40s Don't remember his looking like this....may help me find him in some of the early ones.
