I knew about him, met him a few times when he was here in Detroit. He knew the local CBS station manager who went to school with a relative and many of us kids went over there to see him and Mr. Brannumm.
He did indeed became a member of the armed forces, but he did not serve in combat nor did he deploy outside of the US. He was a marine reservists. The rumor was that he served with Lee Marvin, who was in the 4th marine division and served with a friend who passed last year.
I am wondering about the rerun part.
