Jack & I have corresponded thanks to Phillip Arnold.  Here is what Jack had to say.....

Hello Margie:
My email friend, Phillip Arnold, told me about your site and sent it to me. I was pleasantly surprised when I viewed it. I want to thank you for that. I certainly didn't know there was someone out there doing such a thing. It makes an old stunt guy happy to know there are people out there that remember them.
I had a great career and since memories are all I have left, I love to talk about my times in the biz. Although I only worked in a couple episodes, I became fast friends with Chuck and remained so for many years. I was saddened when he passed in 1992.

We did have some softball games on the set sometimes when they were doing new set ups. Mostly, I hung with the stunt guys and we practiced gun handling, etc.

Many of my old friends are going fast, much like my buddy's from WW11. Sometimes it's hard to believe I'll be 85 in September.

Again, thanks for your site.
Jack N. Young
