Loved Johnny wrote on May 16, 2021 at 3:07 pm

I am 65 now. Way back when I was 12 or so I had a mad crush on Johnny when I saw him in "The Rifleman". He was my hero back then and I wanted to be just like him then. Not until I was about 18 did I understand, me being a guy also loved him so much. Back in the 60's attraction to the same sex was not discussed nor understood much. A 12 yo boy in love with a 12 yo boy would not have gone so well in any household back then. I still watch the re-runs and remember back to my thoughts of how much I wanted to be just like him back then. He was my hero and I always wished I could be part of his family with his TV dad "Lucas". I wanted him to be my brother. Johnny, rest in peace and I will always remember the great smiles you brought to my face when I saw you with your dad Lucas on TV.
