I should add that Dennis Weaver was my neighbor in Ridgway, CO and I helped him choose a cantaloupe at the grocery one day. He didn't know me from Adam but was the sweetest guy. When I saw this Gunsmoke episode I almost cried. When his wife Gerry died I attended the estate sale and bought a few treasures for my home. I will always remember him with love.

I was newly divorced and in a place I thought I would never escape from: extreme depression. I was in a house I owned but was unemployed and semi-desperate. This show literally kept me off the cliff. Don't ask how. I don't know. I worked through that time, made local friends, and eventually found a well-paying job and met my second husband. But, most importantly, I found myself. To this day when I see Linda Hamilton in anything it brings back those years of struggle and redemption. Thanks Linda and Ron. You took me away from the real world long enough to heal and I will always think of you and remember.
