2016 Postmortem

Since I retired I've watched "Gunsmoke, Bonanza, Wyatt Earp, Maverick, Wagon Train, Big Valley, Roy Rogers and others. The one thing that stands out to me as an adult is not to use of guns and violence but a universal tolerance for the downtrodden. I know that most of these shows were highly inaccurate of life in those times but the lessons they taught me have been with me my whole life.

"Paladin • a knight renowned for heroism and chivalry." One think I missed as a child watching HGWT is his logo of a knight chess piece. While viewed as a gun for hire he was really a mythical knight without armor. Also I didn't remember the young Chinese? lady who is his minder. Anyway Paladin- great name you choose for yourself here at DU.

edit: I am so slow on the uptake sir knight- the chess joke is so appropriate to your name.
