An Arkansas connection in the Gunsmoke radio show
In one episode, Doc reveals that he was once sweet on a girl from the community of Rip Shin Thicket, Arkansas. She did not wear shoes, it seems. All she could cook was pork and hominey. She had a brother named Spotted Jack, who never slept indoors or took a bath. At least, this was the story that Doc told. Marshall Dillon was skeptical.
just watched the old Gunsmoke episode. lol
ReplyDeleteJust say the episode with doc telling this story.

ReplyDeleteChester made 8 dollars a mo. How was he going to afford a house much less a wife. He was always borrowing money and bumming drinks from doc and miss. Kitty.
