This is not a rerun, more like a prequel.....
We covered the character of Philip Wendell earlier, but that was his adult
version played by the late Morgan Paull. Now it's time to take a look at his
younger self, when the character played a very important role in the history of
'Centennial'......

O'BSERVATION:
Doug McKeon deserved to be listed among the main stars of the mini-series,
just as much as Michael Ansara, Dennis Weaver, and Richard Crenna......
