Dennis Weaver would be given a wooden leg and a greater drawl as Chester. Two things amused Parley Baer in later life: that the new people would find it necessary to change Chester's surname {from the Baer-coined Proud-foot to Goode} and that Dennis Weaver eventually came to hate the role.

"That is interesting," Baer said, as if such a thought had never occurred to him.
