kat, I agree, this was a touching story.

John Henry Faulk was a renowned storyteller, whose biography is just as touching. Faulk was blacklisted during the dark days of HUAC, and was prevented from creating wide exposure to his considerable gift.

In the 1970's he returned to regular appearance on television, on the Hee Haw, country music show.

And lest I be excoriated by that asshole Gargoyle, Phil Ochs, wrote the Ballad of John Henry Faulk which is in the Database....
