Ed Ames made a good Indian

With his dark skin coloration and high cheekbones, singer Ed Ames looked the part of an Indian on the Daniel Boone television series. He was of Ukranian Jewish heritage. I did a quick check of pictures of other Ukranians, and no one that I saw had nearly the distinctive facial features of Ames. So, he must have been somewhat unique in that regard. In fact, of the four Ames Brothers in the family singing group, he would have been singled out for the part immediately.

Do you have an 8 X 10 of the above picture. My daughter with down syndrome just asked me for his picture from SAnta.

Thanks
