Happy Birthday Denver!

She too could have made a mistake when she said that...I have always heard it to be May 11th - even before the disc set had came out.

They have John Schneider's birth year wrong because when he walked in for the role, he gave them the wrong year in order to present himself to be older. He was only eighteen years old and they were looking for someone who was twenty-four or so. He told them the wrong birth year to get the job and that is what they wrote down.

I know Denver died on December 25th and maybe Cathy is right when she said that. Afterall, she did know Denver personally and had worked with him. Perhaps she said it wrong and she or no one else caught onto it until it was too late.

Whenever his birthday is...happy belated birthday Denver.

Keep it between the ditches

I know there's some question if Denver Pyle's birthday is December 25 or May 11.

Until I hear it confirmed that it's December 25, I'll still celebrate it on May 11 like I have done since the Dukes first came out in 1979.

With that thought in mind, let me say that Uncle Jesse is my hero. I'm only 48 but it is my hope that when I'm older I'll be just like he was on the show....loving, wise, caring, a family leader, respected, reverent, fun to be around, strong, gentle, community-minded, polite, honest, patriotic, and respectful of his fellow human beings (and a pretty good ridge runnin' wheel man to boot)

Happy birthday in Hazzard Heaven my hero. Keep an eye on Boss up there. I'm sure the Good Lord needs your help on occasion to make sure old J.D. isn't trying to scam them angels.

We all love you Uncle Jesse.

The Social Security Death Index lists Denver's birthday as May 11 1920, and date of death as December 25 1997.

I'm sorry to say that Cathy was incorrect in her statement. She may have just confused the fact that he died on Christmas day.

Since today is the 11th, I join with Roger there and wish Denver a happy birthday up there in Hazzard Heaven.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DENVER! You are very well missed!

I had always heard and believed his birthday was on May 11th...I think I only heard it once of the December 25th one. I know he died on December 25th...So, until I hear elsewise, his birthday will always be remembered and celebrated on May 11th by me.

Happy birthday, Denver! Hope you have a great one. As I posted before, you are missed greatly. Though am glad to know you are in a better place. Hope you have a very special birthday, Uncle Jesse!

PS: You have yet to answer the question Roger as to what your wife's cousin named her daughter...is she having a big year old birthday party?
