Speaking of Dobbs...why would a man from Louisiana be in the UNION Army coming out of the Civil War??

reply

My understanding is that Trooper Duffy ran into Dobbs on Duffy's way up from Texas, and convinced Dobbs that the "F" in "F Troop" stood for (General Nathan Bedford) Forrest.

Sad to say he passed a few months ago. I think Larry Storch is the only member of the cast still around.

I was about to ask for what was the point of mindlessly wishing a corpse “Happy Birthday.”

And yet people do it all the time on Facebook.

And now Larry Storch is gone as well
