1. Serling was a gifted writer

and a Korean War combat vet.

3. WWII

I once read that he was emotionally affected when he witnessed the accidental death of a friend on one of the Pacific Islands. Rod Serling also saw his share of fatalities during combat.

2. K&R! Very cool!

I once saw Rod Serling in person. I went to summer camp with his daughter.

8. I guess we do, though I didn't officially meet him.

And he never asked me out, LOL, especially since I was a kid and he was with his wife, came to pick up their daughter from camp. It was a riding camp and Jodi Serling was seriously into horses...

9. Cool.. I had asked for his autograph when I waited on him.. said I didn't know who

he was but the Hostess wanted it.. they all got a good laugh.. and then after work I got a call from a friend who was having a drink with him somewhere.. asking if I wanted to come down and join them. So, it wasn't really a date thing. But, it was my brush with Twilight Zone History!

10. Terrific story, thanks for sharing it!

I knew who he was, especially since the owners of the camp made a big fuss when he and his wife came to pick up their daughter, was at the end of camp, the day of the camp horse show. I admit to having a slight resentment against Jodi, since she was in the same horse show class as I was and she won, and I suspected a set up...

[Cha]

11. I most certainly knew who he was too.. I loved that show.. my kind if you couldn't guess it!

Thanks for sharing your horse story with Rod Serling in it!

You want to win!

12. I love the show now, found it a little scary when I was a kid

I've actually made a point of watching it not long ago.

Jodi Serling was older than I was, only came to camp for that one summer because they had a yearly riding trip to Ireland for the older girls and that's why she was there. I was in the top riding class and made the trip to Ireland, myself, later on, but I guess I regarded her as an interloper, LOL. One of my friends got to know her and I'm sure she was a very nice girl, seriously into horses, but I couldn't help but wonder if she really deserved to win that class or if it had something to do with her famous Dad being there...

4. I actually saw that the one time it was broadcast

and remember being totally blown away by it. I was in high school, and when school resumed after the winter break I was eager to discuss the movie with classmates. None of them had seen it.

5. What a fantastic website! Thank you! n/t

6. I met Rod Serling in Gainesville, Fla back in the day.. I waited on him and his group

of students from the University. He asked me out for a drink after work. Alas I couldn't go 'cause I was married.

So, yeah I'm a fan! Mahalo Steve~

13. K&R! nt

[jtuck004]

14. That is really good, thank you.

Seems we replaced the fences in that show with other barriers to talking, because too many still think they can go on if they just ignore those left in the shadows.

That vision of Ted Cruz as the leader of the party of the future, however. Yechh. Enough to make someone eat fruitcake.

Have a peaceful holiday.
