Sam Elliot is a true rare gem. A voice that ranks with Connery, J. Earl Jones, an impeccable acting style, and a plain "coolness" that is unbeatable.

These good men from this generation are good solid people who had a well self-developed mind, a person of character. They treated everyone with respect. They had lovely manners, but the bottom line was they had principles and code of conduct that has been lost on the last two generations. I wish you luck.
