Many years ago, I mentioned him in connection to something I wrote about in one of my columns - can't remember what at the moment- something about old time values that my Grampa taught me, by example.
some weeks later, a letter arrived at the newspaper for me - and when I retrieved it, was amazed - it was from Gene Auutry. It was most kind and wonderful.
It seems someone in Connecticut, who knew him, had read the column, forwarded it to him - and he wrote me.
