Yes, he was. And when I got home from being out of town when I wrote that, I found some pictures of him. Such a good looking young man too. How awful that he was gone so soon.
It should be ranked among the top 100 movies. Explores deep human emotions, southern chain gangs, male bonding, with innumerable comedic incidents. In short, a triumph of a movie. Also includes some really great supporting cast like George Kennedy.
WOW. I want to read more about Buddy

Hard to say I "liked" your story. I liked your telling of an awful moment for Buddy's family. You are a true storyteller, Shell.
I am embracing that title: “Storyteller”! 😌
What a tragic story. Cruel and unusual punishment indeed.
To die so young, tragic.
Indeed. 😔
Touching story
