"DALLAS"--REMEMBER?

Ford, Me and Sara
In 1982 my sister, Sara, and her family and Ford and I visited South Fork Ranch near Dallas.
Recently the "Dallas" crew met at the South Fork Ranch for a reunion of the cast and to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the TV show "Dallas."
According to the reviews in the newspaper the event was a letdown. Instead of the 2000 they had expected to attend there were about 4000. The fans paid prices of $100 to $1000 for the tickets with the $1000 tickets giving more access to the stars of the show, Larry Hagman, Linda Gray, Patrick Duffy and others. Many fans were angered because they were not given access to cast members as they had been promised.
Jason Hardison, the events executive producer, said he was broken hearted about what happened and felt like the fans were cheated out of what was promised them.He said he is working on how the fans can be reimbursed. He said they deserve that.
The failure of the party was blamed on the blatant lack of competence of the owners of South Fork.
We toured the ranch in 1982. When we visited none of the main stars were there at that time. It was a beautiful ranch and a lot of spectators were there. I like being able to say, "I've been there and done that!"
