Bruce closed his weekly email with a historic note: "We will always remember the great Porter Waggoner from his Saturday TV show in the old days. That suit he wore was the most colorful thing on black & white televison. But Lester "Roadhog" Moran said it best, "Porter Waggoner and Dolly Parton ... that's a coupl'a Big Ones."
