I am one of those fans who saw the show from the very beginning - that gives you some idea of my age, as I am only about five years younger than the star, James Arness. My husband worked in the studios for awhile (as a carpenter) and he saw Mr. Arness on numerous occasions. From what he told me, Mr. Arness was a 'real nice guy'. I have often wondered what he is doing now. We see his brother, Peter Graves, on the 'Biography' program frequently, but have not heard anything about Mr. Arness for years. So many of the program's stars have passed away, but according to the Dead People's Server,Mr. Arness is still around. Any info? Thank you. Edie Mascolo San Luis Obispo, CA
