Very geniune, very polite and geniunely loved rock'n'roll. Am told he was to leave for London to see The Who this Tuesday.<br /><br />RIP Bruce.EEPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04268218831540835983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2903483516951946644.post-37485112910447454972010-03-18T21:26:42.255-07:002010-03-18T21:26:42.255-07:00BC, you bear sad tidings indeed for all of Wildcat...BC, you bear sad tidings indeed for all of Wildcatdom. With all due respect to A. Chilton, the loss of F. Parker is even tougher to bear. I hope wapella.com and the board of historians will reconsider and pull out a few stops on this sad day.<br /><br />Mr. Parker's portrayal of Daniel Boone was true and wise. I am certain he warmed the hearts of many of Wapella's natives with Kentucky roots in his portrayal of the best of the Scotch-Irish pioneers. Whether is was huntin', trappin', fightin' when needs be, maybe a little lovin', or foundin' a country of free men and women, Fess brought home the bacon. Let us honor his memory.<br /><br />Hoosier GatoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2903483516951946644.post-76088005119207419022010-03-18T20:09:32.198-07:002010-03-18T20:09:32.198-07:00Saw that cuz, but Chilton won out on the Board of ...Saw that cuz, but Chilton won out on the Board of Wapella Historians.<br /><br />I went to a Fess Parker Wine Dinner in Evanston about 10 years ago. He had some good stuff brewed up. I think his vineyard was in Santa Barbara area.<br /><br />Ed Ames a bigger draw, unless you knew about the Fess's wine stash.<br /><br />JBPJBPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17015371340244747070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2903483516951946644.post-27354329897449412132010-03-18T18:28:43.261-07:002010-03-18T18:28:43.261-07:00Another Wapella favorite, Fess Parker, passed away...Another Wapella favorite, Fess Parker, passed away as well. Fess wasn't as influential in Wapella as his running mate, Ed Ames (Mingo), with his amazing hatchet throwing demonstrations. RIP, Fess. <br /><br />Badger CatAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
