Union
Suit Fans in the Limelight Fans: Recently, I heard from one of my
blog readers with an idea for an upcoming posting. Here's what he had
to say:
"Chris:
I am 15 years old and live in Vermont. I saw your union suit blog
when looking at the internet. I like to wear union suits too. I been
wearing for years. My mom bought me and my brother red ones when
first became boy scouts for camping. We wear them snowboarding at
Stowe mountain. Its cold in Vermont so I like to wear union suits to
be warm. After your postings of the Undressed under Duress me and my
dad watched all but one of the movies you had talked about. I know of
another one called Seven Alone that we watched where a boy about my
age has all his clothes stolen by an Indian one night and was left in
his long johns. This would be stresful to. I wonder if you could do
this one in your blog.
Your
friend, Josh"
Hi
Josh: thanks for contacting me. Yes, in the 1974 movie, "Seven
Alone," was based on a true story of a family traveling west to
Oregon. Young John Sager gets angry at his dad for whipping him.
He
runs away from his family and the wagon train in which he was
traveling. Falling asleep his first night out, an Indian steals his
clothes, boots, and rifle.
He is left in the wilderness in just his union suit only to be rescued by Kit Carson. The young actor, Stewart Petersen, was fourteen years old then. He was in another movie as Sam Sutter a year later called "Against a Crooked Sky." In this one he was kidnapped in his union suit by a bunch of Indians after cooling off in a water hole.

Josh,
You present me with a good idea. So, I will work up
a Junior Distressed posting or two for you and other Union Suit Fans. Thanks for the suggestion...

Hi Josh: This fall has been rather busy with the postings I had already planned for 2020. But, I haven't forgotten you or your request. Look for juniors in Undressed Under Duress in "Union Suit Fans in the Limelight" early next year. In the meantime, Merry Christmas and have a safe New Year. Your friend, Chris
