Good story development - long time since I have seen the show, even in reruns. (Kookie is 86!)
From your Maverick stories, I can tell you like the Dandy Jim character, and this "Stu" seems a natural companion character, while keeping to the series theme.
Thanks for posting. Hope you do more "77" stories, as well as Maverick.

I'm so excited to see this story. This is a show that doesn't get nearly enough love and attention. You've done a great job so far; I love the part where she steals Stu's drink. I can't wait to see how the rest of this goes.
