I never met Don Knotts, but like most who saw him, he brought much enjoyment.
Some notes on Don Knotts (from the IMDB).
- Enlisted in the United States Army at age 19.
- Is a member of the fraternity Phi Sigma Kappa.
- Veteran of the Second World War who was awarded the World War II Victory Medal, Philippine Liberation Medal, Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal (with 4 bronze service stars), Army Good Conduct Medal, Marksman Badge (with Carbine Bar) and Honorable Service Lapel Pin.
- Attended and graduated from West Virginia University in Morgantown, West Virginia, with a BA in Education graduated 1948.
- Took an early job plucking chickens for a market when he was told he didn’t have a future in acting.
I am glad that Don Knotts gave up plucking chickens, and didn’t listen to the naysayers. Not only did he have a future in acting, his acting left quite a shadow.
Thank You Don Knotts.
