My Take
Pete Duel is one of those names that leaves a small ache. A young man from Rochester, St. Lawrence University behind him, he had the easy charm and quiet melancholy that television loved, breaking through as the likeable outlaw in Alias Smith and Jones. Then, on the last night of 1971, he was gone at thirty-one. I find myself thinking about the career that never got to mature, the depth he might have grown into. What moves me is that fans still speak his name with tenderness all these years later. That lingering affection is its own proof that his light truly mattered.
