Missed meeting actor Gerald McRaney at Ole Miss by only a few weeks.
McRaney left school at the end of one semester, Gary transferred in at
the start of the next semester. They discovered this when Gary wrote an
article for Drama-Logue in 1983 on McRaney as the star of "Simon &
Simon"; 23 years later Gary worked with Delta Burke, McRaney's wife, in
the play "Southern Baptist Sissies" at Hollywood's Zephyr
Theatre.
