I visited Carl Barks in the late 1960s and the very early 1970s.  I don't 
remember seeing any television.  I also remember him saying that it could be a 
dangerous thing and he wanted to avoid things like that.  But, I don't remember 
if he said that to me, or that was a paraphrasing of what somebody, who knew 
him better,told me. (Malcom Willits, his partner (first name) Brown, or friend 
Jim Edmond? Forgive me.  My old memory has been going downhill for the past 5-
10 years, and is getting worse every day.  But it rings a bell, that he didn't 
have a television, and he thought "them new-fangled inventions" might lead a 
person into trouble!  Despite Sigvald's logic, I'd say that rumour might have a 
basis in fact. There are a few others on this list who visited him in the early 
1970s or before.  Perhaps they can enlighten us as to their memories, and/or 
knowledge of that subject.
