Roy and Dale?

[2LaneCruzer]

Here's me in my Roy Rogers & Dale Evans shirt that Sharn Jean made for me some time back. Roy was my hero when I was a kid, always admired him.

I wore it to the doctor's office recently, and nobody knew who they were! I knew I was getting old, but didn't think I was that old!

I am a wee bit surprised at your photo - I imagined you as being younger and somewhat more conservative. I would never wear a shirt like that - even in private, nor a pink one!

I do remember Roy Rogers though, and Trigger, in Saturday afternoon films, but cannot recall ever hearing about his wife until later in life.

Have to admit I always saw John Wayne as my western hero, and I longed for the day when Jack Palance would survive to the end of the film. That did eventually happen.

Happy Trails...!

My favorite cowboy when growing up.

Rex Allen was my favorite. And I often preferred the "sidekicks" to the star.

I met Andy Devine when I was 4-6, before ever seeing a movie. I was just told he was a movie cowboy.

You look dapper! I'm glad no one got a picture of me at the doctor's office. I was in for a stress-test and had my frumpy jersey pants and a work T-shirt. I was carrying my lunch bag with my wallet, phone, water and snack you had to eat after the test. I must have looked like some homeless guy. They inject some kind of nuclear waste into you so they can X-Ray the heart before and after the test. They said to stay away from babies and young children for at least two days. I think I was glowing in the dark.

To my reciliation Roy never killed a bad guy but it's a miracle he didn't accidently kill any considering all those trick shots he made.

I'll stick with Matt Dillon.

The Roy Rogers show was a Saturday morning staple...After watching the test pattern and waiting for the jets to fly over...
...The first show was 'Red Ryder' (had a young Robert Blake as Little Beaver)...Then Tarzan...then Roy Rogers...

Roy was my first cowboy favorite....He was on at a time when I could watch. Matt Dillon, Paladin, Bat Masterson, Wyatt Earp were on too late for me. A few years later the Rifleman, Chuck Conners....
