Dad and the cast of Deliverance

 

Dad (Lloyd Geertz) and a guy named Lance Martin went to Georgia, where Deliverance was filmed, to give lessons on white water canoeing. 

I mostly just recall Dad telling me that, they used real mountain men for some scenes as background people. 
Dad, on the set, in trying to start a innocent conversation, approached one and stated something like, "Boy, the makeup man sure did a job on you."


 Turns out that was the way the guy always looked and he wanted to kick Dad's butt for insulting him!! After numerous apologies, he calmed down.

Typical of Dad, he met Burt Reynolds, Jon Voight n Ned Beatty, very famous actors, but never asked for a autograph.
