    R.I.P. Norman S. Powell if I am reading this correctly. His credits are remarkable!
    Norman S. Powell worked on several TV Classics that have never left the air like "The Rifleman", "Wanted: Dead or Alive" and "The Big Valley". His connection to these legendary series gave his production of the later "Gunsmoke" movies an incredibly genuine authenticity that has added them to the pantheon of Western TV Classics.
    Happy Trails Norman S. Powell!

    Great memories.
