On a lighter note, Nick was at the
Jimmy Stewart Museum in Indiana, Pa., this past Friday to present the "Harvey Award" to James Best, a.k.a. Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane from
The Dukes of Hazzard. (Best was in four films with Stewart.) I found the Friday $75/plate dinner a bit beyond my means, but I did manage to drive out there yesterday to meet Mr. Best and get an autograph and picture. I also saw some handprints that Nick had left on a previous visit to the museum, along with a photo and autograph from his rather more famous (on any other Internet forum) sister.
I'd been meaning to go to the museum anyway; this just gave me a little more motivation to do so. It's a nice little place and well worth the $5 admission. I walked a couple blocks and saw Jimmy's boyhood home, too. His father's hardware store, where his Oscar was on display for so many years, was, unfortunately, torn down decades ago.
