the bartender on gunsmoke - as if you care

I'm not sure who our special guest was referencing last night, or even what the point of the particular story was, but for the record, the bartender (Sam Noonan) on Gunsmoke was in fact Glenn Strange (top left corner in the tie) -- at least from 1961 to 1973 when he left for health reasons and died the following year.
I also wanted to point out that Strange was one of the four people to play Universal's Frankenstein Monster, (in House of Frankenstein, House of Dracula, and Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein) which is his obvious claim to fame.
Rudy Sooter did play another bartender (Rudy) for ten episodes in the 1960s, so maybe he was referring to him. Or Clem Fuller played Clem the bartender from 1959 to 1960, when he was replaced by Strange. Finally Robert Brubaker played Floyd the bartender after Strange left the show for its final season. Now we have to wonder which of the three gentlemen the guy was referring to for the anecdote that I don't remember in the first place.
