I remember the theme song and the part where Fess Parker as Daniel Boone would throw a small ax at a tree and split it in two!!!..it was the coolest thing my brother and I had ever seen anyone do with an ax, and we would copy his every move, as we practiced throwing an ax just like Daniel Boone!!!!
My dad had a lot of them lying around the yard, and we lived by many trees to practice on!!!
As an adult, I had the pleasure of staying at his Fess Parker DoubleTree Resort in Santa Barbara when I would frequently visit friends studying at UC-Santa Barbara, as well as tasting his wine from his families winery!!!
The world is a better place because Mr Fess Parker’s business and entertainment accomplishments.He will truly be missed!!!
