Garner was in his prime when I was a teenager and the bunch of us boys known as 'the cowboys' (always vs 'the Hippies', LOL) saw his various characters as role models. He was tough as nails in Sledge, human as hell in Nichols and comfortable as an old shoe in Rockford. He stood at the top of his profession, throughout his career.
He will be missed.
Really liked him.....

Goodbye, Mr Garner
Maverick has gone home.
Liked his Korean War Service (two purple hearts awarded 34 years after his wounds) and his body of film and television work maverick/rockford etc. but he was way... left and according to his autobiography that I read just last week, he had an outspoken loathing and hatred of social and political conservatives.
He wrote: "Until Barack Obama the only Presidential Candidate I was comfortable voting for was Adalai Stevens."
I didn't know that...

I didn't know that...
Again, my understanding from reading his 2011 autobiography.....he greatly disliked Gov./POTUS Reagan, Charles Bronson, Steve McQueen, Charles Heston, Lee Majors and both daddy and baby Bush for political reasons. He makes three or four references to Duke Wayne but I did not perceive them to be negative more like giving credit for being a "talkie" and western genre pioneer and trailblazer.
"I just don't understand conservatives."
"Being human and conservative are mutually exclusive."
"One day I'm walking arm in arm between Chuck Heston and Sidney Potier in the great D.C. civil rights march, the next day Chuck is a Republican and NRA spokesman."
Many folks don't understand that the NRA is a civil rights

I got my name from that show and I named my oldest son accordingly. My middle name is Bart and I named my oldest son Brett. It's a shame the left has so infiltrated Hollyweird.
Maverick has gone home.

May have to watch 'Tank' tonight! That was a favorite of me and my dad when I was a kid. I found it on DVD a few years back and happily watched it again. Although it was a bit facet for a ten year old kid, all I cared about was him driving the tank through buildings and shooting stuff!!
