Strange P-f. Weaver died along with Don Knotts & Daren McGaven
in the same week. Weaver was in Steven Spielberg's first try. It was
a drama called "The Truck." Weaver was the only character except
for the truck driver who was never seen. It's a classic & if you ever

Ali...

I know the film you mean John, but it's "Duel", not "The Truck".
Made for TV in 1971.

Hi Ali: You are right as rain. Excuse my slip. The TV movie
was "Duel" & I seen it a few times. I remember he had a Dodge
Valiant which was a plain little car with a nice slant 6 cylinder under
the hood. He still couldn't outrun that big old truck. It was a start
for Spielberg with better things to come. Take care.

get a chance to see it you will be surprised how good an actor Dennis
was. Don Knotts & Daren McGaven were legends over here. Maybe
you remember the Natural with Robert Redford. McGaven was in the
movie as a bad guy. He stole the show. Knotts won 5 Emmys & made
movies that were really funny stuff.

We all get old & pass away. It's the circle of life. Still I remember those
three actors & feel sad. May they RIP.
