In my own crazy mind-----i realized that due to his laid back attitude regarding the bleeder valve/rogers accident, the mild mannered Constable Jonas had to clean out his desk to make way for Sheriff Patterson........wow i had forgotten how much clout the Collins had....but sure enough i remember a scene where Roger pretty much tells the Constable that in no uncertain terms he can be replaced..... and he was......

Regarding Dana Elcar as the gruff yet competant Sheriff Patterson......i read somewhere that he is blind from advanced diabetes......now there is a guy who has been in every kind of movie you could think.......i remember him as a mean FBI agent in that Redford/Newman film "The Sting" in 1973.  Come to think of it....he never seemed to age much through the years......i think he was only in his early 40's when he played Sheriff Patterson......anyway...i hope he finds peace in the twilight of his life

Whatever it is......Madam sure can go up the Collinwood stairs better than she can come down........thunk-thump-thud!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the poll......i voted for Humble Humbert.....and i wondered about Addison Powell.....he must be pushing 90.....anyone know how old he is?.........also if i had a write in vote on another DS Fest Recluse.....it would be Mitch Ryan.......i dont think he has ever attended.....anyone know for sure?

I wonder how many funeral homes there are in Collinsport...........with Morticians like Mr Jarrett, no wonder there are so many spirits at Collinwood......

Wasn't A.M. going thru motherhood maternity when the color eps transitioned.......maybe a factor in her mannerisms, or her ability to play Ms. Winters

i recall maggie evans eyes watering up several times during the early pre barn eps, when she would have moments of dispair with POP.......[spoiler]trying to get him to tell her the secret of his complicity with roger in the manslaughter charge that sent my buddy burke up the river for 5 years.[/spoiler]  Sam would be in a drunken and verbally abusive state several scenes during that time......and poor maggie (KLS), those big brown eyes just welled up with tears.......i always thought she played the sympathetic daughter so well........little did she know what tortures of the damned were in store for her character in later episodes..........

I went to the cliffs overlooking Laguna Beach and listened for the wailing of the widows......it was a joy to hear the waves crashing over the rocks below.....and i will never forgive Matthew Morgan for giving Malloy a little push over the edge
