. . . my father and grandfather were actors who played in many Westerns of the 20's, 30's, 40's and 50's. In your birthday greeting to Wyatt Earp and reference to Virgil, my dad played Virgil Earp in John Ford's My Darling Clementine.

I had the good fortune of meeting Jack Holt from the Department of Defense a few weeks ago-- good looking guy from Oklahoma who is working in the area of "new media." Well, if only I had known his distinguished lineage, I would have created a one-woman media frenzy.
Tom and I are both huge fans of Tim Holt, who indeed played Virgil Earp in the legendary movie mentioned above, as well as Bogie's ill-fated partner in the Treasure of the Sierra Madre (above, Humphrey Bogart, left, Tim Holt, right).
Jack's grandfather, Jack Holt (right), had a career that included silent movies and he also acted with his son in Sierra Madre. He also attended Virginia Military Institute. He has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Reckon how many guys who attended VMI have achieved such an honor? His daughter, Jennifer (left), also acted in dozens of Westerns.
Go figure that Jack would have all this thespian blood and opt for government service. . . well, if it's good enough for Ronald Reagan. . . .Now that I'm aware of Jack's ancestry, I will pester him for more details and hope to share them with you. One thing is already for certain, it's clear where the good looks come from.

Thank God Al Gore invented the internet! Here I am, sitting in America's Heartland, listening to WBRF in Galax, Virginia. The "Night Rider," Bruce Hodges, is on the air, and if you want a real taste, and sound, of life in the Blue Ridge Mountains, tune in and tell them Deb sent you. http://www.blueridgecountry98.com/ He's playing Ed Bruce's new song, "I know." If you haven't heard Ed Bruce sing, your life is simply not complete.
