David Peckinpah?

December 19, 2016
   So Kathy got me all the seasons of "Deadwood" and "Gunsmoke" for my birthday. And, yesterday, even though it was early, we watched a couple of the very first Gunsmokes, dating back to 1956. I read somewhere that Sam Peckinpah cut his teeth on writing several episodes before he turned to directing. Could this be him?

Say, what? Does the middle initial stand for "Sam"?

   Anyway, it was an act of love to buy me the shows and it was the ultimate act of love to actually watch some of these shows with me. Of course, there are other definitions of love.
