James Arness is one of my heroes. I started watching the old Gunsmoke episodes a couple years ago and bar none Matt Dillon is unequivocally the best lawman ever to exist on the planet. Can't help but think the man playing the character isn't much different in integrity, humility, compassion and honesty. I was trippin' when I found that YT video of him surfing down under!
Meanwhile we are still getting fun surf here.....
