It warms my heart to see all these tributes. Dukes fans are a big family with a common bond and it's nice to see us come together like this.

Thanks Hoss, yes I did see coverage of it. CNN did a live special. Here it was cloudy but occasionally a window would open up. The Sun was only 5 percent blocked here in NW Pennsylvania so it wasn't anything spectacular....but still cool anyways. Brian May was very active with Astronomy magazine but hasn't done much in it lately.

This is a good question. After I turned 65 in April of last year (I'm 7 days younger than Bo) I started thinking about it more. I have been so blessed in life except for the one great tragedy of losing my only child in a car accident. There is really nothing more I feel like I need to accomplish in life except for one thing and I have been working on that lately. I know we aren't supposed to talk about religion but considering the circumstances ( and considering the folks of Hazzard were religious) maybe the moderators will let it slide this time. I love astronomy and I always got tired of people claiming that you have to believe in science or religion. You can't believe in both because they both can't be right. To counter that I have been working on three projects. One of them is a novel. It is classified as Christian science fiction and I've been working on it on and off for 10 years. The other is a children's book that targets teenagers like my grandson who declared last year that he is an atheist because science can answer everything and the things it can't answer now it will eventually find answers to. The third is a power point presentation that proves that God and science are indeed compatible, not combative. I am going to present it to a church group and see where it goes from there. If it ever gets on You Tube I could let you folks know. I sure hope we get more responses to your question Tom.

I take deaths of the DOH stars very hard. I only met him once. That was on Oct 23, 1982. As I recall, that day was his first wife's 30th birthday. It was at a car show in Erie Pa. This is going to be a tough few days for me.....and millions of other fans. My condolences to all his fans here.

Just got back from a 3 day trip to the Canadian side of Niagara Falls. Looks like things are pretty slow around here. Looks like we need another Moonshine 400!

He can ask 5 grand for it but good luck selling it for anywhere near that. We've been selling antique furniture from our parents estate. It has been a real eye opener. Prices on the internet do not represent the real world.

It did help by giving a new generation exposure to the Dukes. There, I said something nice about it. I'm not a fan though. That's the only nice thing I will say. At least all 4 Dukes were together in the 2005 movie. The reunion movie was the worst. Bo, Luke and Daisy all left a frail dying Uncle Jesse all alone. They completely abandon the ailing family patriarch and moved out of state. How in the world did the writers think that would go over well? Clearly the writers weren't fans of the show.

Ducati is now making dirt bikes. And (Hoss might be interested in this) Triumph is too.
