We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

opulent fabric as ermine, velvet, silver or gold. In spite of all this implied fanfare, Fess himself has never looked up the Parker family crest for fear of finding on it a small biscuit rampant — the Parker House roll.
Born in Fort Worth, Texas, ma'am, Fess grew up in San Angelo. He started his college career at Texas A. and M., transferred to Hardin-Simmons (where he hoped to play four years of college football), served three years in the Navy — rising from apprentice seaman to seaman, first class — returned to Hardin-Simmons briefly, and then moved to the University of Texas, where he earned his degree. He also attended U.S.C. in Los Angeles, where he knocked out his master's degree in Theater Arts. His fraternity is Pi Kappa Alpha.
At this point, it might be remarked that Fess is not ohly a picture and TV star, but a recording artist, as well — a fact which makes at least one woman furious. The lady in question stormed into a Los Angeles record shop and asked the salesman whether he had the Fess Parker platter of "The Ballad of Davy Crockett." Apologetically, the salesman admitted that he was temporarily out of the number, but added that a new supply would arrive shortly. Meanwhile, he said, a number of guitar-and-gullet boys had waxed the song . . .
"I don't want a substitute," snapped the shopper. "I wdnt Fess or nothing. This is the seventh record shop I've tried, and every single one of them is sold out. It makes me simply furious."
(Note to the lady: By the time you read this, you will be able to buy— not only "The Ballad"— but a 45 rpm Columbia recording of the three "Davy Crockett" dramas which have been telecast.)
