From Scott Hunter, an Alabama quarterback in the 60s who knew Nabors.

"Told me he had bought the syndicated broadcast rights for almost nothing when the Gomer Pyle series ended. He told me he was making far more money on the syndication rights than he made starring in the show for 5 years.

Also told me he found out in the early 70's the show's Sgt Carter character (Frank Sutton) was destitute and living in a retired actor's home in LA. (Nabors) found him and assigned him 5 percent of the show's rights and revenues for the rest of his life.

Jim Nabors was a great Alabamian, University of Alabama graduate, and American...I'm proud to have known him. God Bless you and Rest in Peace Jim...and ROLL TIDE!"
