I was watching "The Virginian" this afternoon on the Westerns Channel, when
whom did I happen to see but Bing Russell. Bing Russell played Mr. Burton
the blasting engineer on TAGS in the episode about the loaded goat.
Anyway, on The Virginian, Bing was a bad man who kidnapped a small boy and held
him for ransom. But the ironic part is the young boy he kidnapped was played
by his own son, Kurt Russell. Isn't that interesting. Wonder why Kurt
Russell was never on TAGS? Probably because he was 4 years older than Ron
Howard and would not have fit in.
By the way, Peggy was in the show as well.
Orville Hendricks - The Butter and Egg Man. If any bad man ever kidnapped
Evan, it would be like O Henry's short story "The Ransom of Red Chief". They
would wind up paying me to take Evan back.
