Growing up I watched him on Andy Griffith. Later I used to watch him on Grizzly Adams with his mule #7. To this day when I pull into a gas station and happen to end up on the #7 pump I think of Uncle Jesse and the way he used to say "number seven" (even though he wasn't named Jesse in Grizzly Adams). I'm sure I saw him on lots of other things but only remember 3 of them well. At 59 I'm the same age that Jesse was when Dukes began so I suppose it's time for me to start growing the hair longer and growing the beard longer. Currently my hair never gets longer than two inches before my wife buzzes it and I shave once a month so the beard never gets that long. My hair only has a little grey by the ears and my beard is only about 30% gray so unfortunately I couldn't look like him if I wanted. My voice is kinda deep so I can sound a little like him. Just waiting to get a little more grey and get that old white Ford truck. In a few years I'll be him.
