Wow ... I knew there was an anxious fan base, but excuse me, NO
mention of James MacArthur?
More than odd considering a 5-0 icon like "Dano" would be right at the
center of an event like that -- white mane and all. Maybe it's due to
some lingering animosities. I mean, outside of possible health issues,
no other reason makes sense. After all, you just never know about the
lateral effects of burned bridges. I heard Jim was working over there
on some sort of project over there, but that's all.
