I went to another castle today. It was built between the 13th and 15th centuries, and still has a cannonball embedded in the wall from when it was attacked in 1599!

Good evening all, Thank you for accepting me on the site. I remember Dukes when I was younger and the girls having a crush on John Schneider, LOL. Good times and great memories come to mind. I love reading posts and listening to ideas about the show- most of all, I enjoy the enthusiasm. I pretty much have a simple life. I love listening to old music- like music before I was born- The Beatles, 1960s girl groups and just anything upbeat and happy Thanks again all!

That was in 'Dukes Strike it Rich', although I don't think Boss got a chance to call her as he and Rosco ran outside when Cooter towed his car. Incidentally, in 'Witness: Jesse Duke', Boss tells Jesse that "Lulu's away in Decatur visiting her sister Hortense, so you can use her bedroom." Other than her original appearance in 'The Return of Hughie Hogg', I think that's the only other mention of Aunt Hortense.

We are always excited to have a new member of the family. Tell us more about your love of Dukes.

I have a couple of friends from Romania - I'll have to ask if they've ever visited Bran Castle, which is the castle usually associated with Dracula (despite there being no direct connection).

Hey, I was wondering, wasn't there a woman Boss was going to try to scam in a phony land deal of some sort ( or something like that) and he was looking through the phone book for a victim and he looked at the name, " Hortensce Bledsoe, if that isn't a rich old lady, I'll eat my hat." , You guys remember that one? The previous mention of the name reminded me of this. Maybe the writers forgot they had used the name already?

That's very cool! I'd like to visit some castles one day! Especially Dracula's castle. They have one out I 840 here in Tennessee. It reminds me of Dracula's castle but it has something to do with The Renascence fair held there each year.

I guess 1880s is historic where you live, Roger. The castle where I live is only about 700 years older than that!

Roger, after visiting the castle yesterday I went to the coastal town of Dungarvan. As you enter the town there's a sign saying that it's twinned with Erie, Pennsylvania - isn't that somewhere near you? BTW. Dungarvan also has a 12th century castle, but I didn't get to see it.
