RIP, Davy and Dan'l

The New York Times reports that Fess Parker has died.


Just the other night we watched "THEM" on cable;  had forgotten that Fess played the part of the Texan pilot who first reported the "ant-shaped flying saucers."


After he stopped acting, he made a pretty good living making wine.  In fact, it was a Fess Parker Vigonier that got Mrs. Dang and I into wine in a big way.   We visited the winery, staying at Fess Parker's Wine Country Inn, a few years back. 

We have lost an American Icon, and he will be missed.


Our thoughts go out to his family.
