Widder, SASS #59054 Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 This is one for Alpo..... WHY did they always send 'Chester' to fetch somebody? The Marshal sent Chester to fetch the Doc. The Doc sent Chester to fetch the Marshal. Ms. Kitty would send Chester to fetch Matt or the Doc. WHY did they always send Chester, who could only half gallop and surely couldn't get up or down all those steps to the Docs office. I bet ALPO knows. ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trigger Mike Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 It was so that he would feel needed and not be bothered by his handicap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rye Miles #13621 Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Chester was getting paid to clean up, make coffee and go get stuff! That's about all the loser could do! I hope they didn't pay him too much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trailrider #896 Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 What I could never figure out is whether Chester was a deputy (he sure accompanied Matt on enough jobs), and why he didn't wear a gun? He must have had some firearms training, as IIRC, he got his stiff leg from a wound in the CW. Trying to recall how the radio version of Chester was played.

No limp and he carried a gun sometimes, I listen to the radio version on xm radio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
