The Rutherford County Line

I first saw this movie in the 10th grade. For the next few years I probably saw it 30 times. My high school theater teacher... who changed my life, was in the movie. Gene Kusterer was the man who touched my life the most (besides my father). He might have not been famous but he was the person I looked up to more than any one person. The movie might not be known to many people outside of North Carolina but I really enjoyed it. Mr. K showed us how to "die" several times through out my theater days in high school. Maybe not the most convincing performance of all times, but still one he should be proud of. He was not only a teacher he could be viewed as a an actor, a great father, a great father figure, a friend, and a mentor.
