Anyone who can receive an Oscar nomination and a Pulitzer Prize for writing has clearly demonstrated their contribution to the arts and society. We were lucky to have had him...

"Read a story once that the first time he and Chuck Yeager ever met they shook hands and then had a chat while they changed the oil in the truck Sam had just driven across the country. Right there. First thing off the road after a long drive the man changes his oil. With Chuck Yeager. I love that story."

Great story.  One of my favorite writer's.

A sterling example of Shepard's genius: (you'll have to watch each of 10 parts):
