“The TV show Bonanza premiered 60 yrs. ago.”


When I was in 1st grade, Loren Green, dressed in his cowboy Bonanza grab, came into our classroom to talk about the show and how dangerous blank cartridges were.

He then held up a newspaper, took his ‘six-shooter’ from his holster and blew a hole in the paper — bits of paper went everywhere...then he went to the next classroom.

I’m thinking’ this isn’t done in schools anymore.

Didn’t Jon Erik Hexum blow his brains out (unintentionally) with a blank? I think he was goofing around on set and had no idea the damage would be so great. Something like that. Or maybe it was someone else . . .
