Hi Roberto,

I was in Tuscaloosa in school, a couple of years ahead of you--probably overlapping you a bit. I think we were friends with some of the same people, including Marshal Hagler. I have wondered over the years what happened to Art Schilling, where he was, etc., and sad to came across the fact that he died. Very sorry to hear that. Can you tell me what happened to him--how he died and when?

Thank you.

Best,
T

FROM BRUCE:

I do not know any details of his death. I only learned that he died sometime after he played the deputy sheriff in the movie with Lou Gossett being the sheriff in rural south with the flying nun starring in the lead role.

Got the movie stuff wrong. Holly Hunter was the female lead and Richard Widmark was the sheriff in the movie "A gathering of old men" Gossett played the black handy man and Art was the racist deputy sheriff. Small role, but he was able to portray all the redneck racist that he grew up with in Alabama. I got a pic of him by Marshal.

Robert,
Sorry I attached a bad pic. Here is a better(?) one of Art Schilling (left) and Charlie Hayward.

Did you get the email that Art died in 2003 of cancer?
