Take if from a then-12-yr-old who was there. <""Killed him a BAR when he was only three..." "> is correct!! Last night I pulled out my Disney Treasures Davy Crockett original tv show DVD set and watched the Fess Parker interview, the documentary that reminded me how crazy the Crockett Craze was-- and had a ball with Fess Parker, Buddy Ebsen and Jeff York (Mike Fink) race down the Mississippi River for New Orleans!! Still as much fun as it was in b&w on tv all those many years ago. Joe B in NOLA
