[Phil C]

He was on July 9th as Encore Westerns showed The Rifleman. The episode was called Skull and was about a power hungry rancher that provided a haven for outlaws. The rancher was played by Lyle Bettger a famous actor and the son of St.Louis baseball player and later great salesman Frank Bettger. Don plays Warren one of Bettger's men. He did a good job of acting in this episode.
Don Drysdale was a great pitcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers and they won several world series championships. He later was a broadcaster for the Dodger games.
