QUOTE(#3):

James Arness was still alive? I thought he passed years ago. RIP, indeed.

His younger brother Peter Graves died last year.

Old school guy, never a big fan of the show, was more a "Bonanza" and the Cartwright's fan. Nonetheless he was an Icon of the era, and props to him for a long life. Hope he had a good contract and got a monthly check for all the syndication.
