ve Boone and other past mascots
a retirement ceremony in the upcoming academic year.The image of Denver
Boone was originally designed by a Walt Disney artist and named by
a UD student back in 1968 .The cartoony figure, which sports a
scruffy beard and a raccoon skin cap, is reminiscent of the Daniel
Boone character from the 1950s TV show based on the real-life pioneer.Boone
was a legend of early American history and the archetypal hero of
the American Western Frontier.Later, his image and legend fell victim to
revisionist history as he became associated with the forceful displacement
of Native Americans from their land.So how closely linked are Denver Boone
and Daniel Boone?Any association of the Denver Boone caricature with America's
pioneer hero, Daniel Boone, is misguided, said Randell Jones, historian
and author of the book In the Footsteps of Daniel Boone.Mythology and
Fess Parker aside, it is well documented that Daniel Boone never wore
a coonskin cap. Neither did he wear a beard. Moreover, any exploits
by him west of Missouri are speculative at best.
er, Joan of Arc in Lillian Hellman's adaptation of Jean Anouilh's
"The Lark." The play had a six-month run, primarily because of the
notices for Harris.The actress was something of a critics' darling, getting
good reviews even when her plays were less-well received. These included
such work as "Marathon `33," "Ready When You Are, C.B.!" and even
a musical, "Skyscraper," adapted from an Elmer Rice play, "Dream Girl."Her
third Tony came for her work in "Forty Carats," a frothy French
comedy about an older woman and a younger man. It was a
big hit, running nearly two years.Harris won her last two Tonys for
playing historical figures -- Mary Todd Lincoln in "The Last of Mrs.
Lincoln" and poet Emily Dickinson in "The Belle of Amherst" by William
Luce. The latter, a one-woman show, became something of an annuity for
Harris, a play she would take around the country at various times
in her career.The actress liked to tour, even going out on the
road in such plays as "Driving Miss Daisy" and "Lettice & Lovage"
after they had been done in New York with other stars.Harris' last
Broadway appearances were in revivals, playing the domineering mother in
a Roundabout Theatre Company production of "The Glass Menagerie" (1994)
and then "The Gin Game" with Charles Durning for the National Actors
Theatre in 1997.In 2005, she was one of five performers to receive
Kennedy Center honors.Harris was born on Dec. 2, 1925, in Grosse Pointe,
Mich., the daughter
