Roy Rogers & Dale Evans

[tkret]

I knew that Roy had passed away a few years ago but I was wondering about Dale. So, I checked it out on the internet and read that she, too, had passed back in 2001. I had completely forgotten that.

NOW I'M REALLY BUMMED OUT.

Horse is best served with a light barbeque sauce, arugula over cold butter peas and a nice Merlot.

Tony, sounds like you've had a lot of cooking experience. I understand that gator tastes like chicken, but chickens are easier to catch.

I have actually been in that museum, did you know that after Roy passed his family sold the museum and it was actually moved to another state.
Bev & I really enjoyed that nostalgic day.:a040:

[Best Mom]

My sister and brother-in-law (both pilots in the Airforce) lived next door to them in AppleValley, Calif. I got to meet Dale and saw Trigger stuffed.!! They were old then and it was around 1980.

Where did you get this topic tkret? :mademyday:

I was horsecrazy from birth so I loved Roy, Dale and Trigger. :a040:

Well, Best Mom, sounds crazy but for some reason Roy Rogers popped into my head today. I remembered that they had a loving relationship and I was wondering how Dale was doing.... well, I surely found out. I had totally forgotten that she had passed away but found the info on the internet.

Best Mom ... did you check this out?

hold on, I have to get my cap gun and spurs... also gotta find my Roy Rogers lunch box, too. :)

[Best Mom]

tket..
I would love to but I am on an old dial up phone line computer and it loads about as fast as Trigger(stuffed). I might be able to see it tomorrow! :laugh:

I really liked " Lassie" too. Big deal to walk to Grandmas on Sunday night and watch Lassie on her Black and White TV. Now remember I am only 57!

:a040: Got you spurs and cap gun? I had the cap gun. I'ld run behind trees and shoot the bad guys. I got a real horse at age 5. (saved him from a glue factory)

Roy Rogers lunch box would be a collector's item today.

We knew what constituted true happiness back then. :icon_wink:

I've been to the museum twice. Had a one dollar bet with a firefighter at my station in Indianaplois, about who started "The Son's of The Pioneers". I said Roy, he said Gene Autry. I went to the museum and found out it was Roy. However the firefighter wouldn't pay up because I didn't have proof. So, the next year I went back and asked a person in the museum if Roy was in. he said he was out hunting but would be back soon. I was shocked that he would even be around. I took pictures of proof that Roy was in the original Son's of The Pioneer's group, got my dollar signed by the firefighter and it's still in my lockbox. By the way Nellie Bell is there, and I think Buttercup is also stuffed.

[tkret]

dgammon6..... what a GREAT memory!

[chuckinca]

Costco in Norcal sells milk from a dairy in Fresno thats motto is "Hoppy's favorite" and has a pic of Hopalong Cassidy on the carton all dressed in his black outfit with black wide brim hat.

I can't imagine too many people shopping at Costco that remember Hopalong Cassidy. Must be that the dairy owner is a Hoppy fan.

Hoppy and Roy were both born in Ohio. Roy grew up in Cincinnati at the very site that the Bengals lose football games. Gene Autry is a "real" cowboy by birth, born in Texas.

Off topic, sorry.....Gracie do you ever sleep? posted after midnight and edit at 4am?? Happy 40 winks to you!
Lassie was my favorite but this thread did remind me of my horse on springs that I would gleefully ride when a young'un.

[graciegirl]

Not sleeping well. Too many things to think about doing down here.:shrug:

[Best Mom]

Rokinronda,
I STILL HAVE MY HORSE!(on springs).:coolsmiley:
I don't ride it much anymore.:icon_wink: I got my horse from Santa when I was 4 years old and I always wondered how Santa got him down the chimney?? (Bless my Grandma)
If I ever have a grandchild or have to downsize I will have to part with my horse.... but it won't be easy.

music "Happy Trails to You" music :0000000000luvmyhors

When my youngest son was five years old (he is now 31) we had the opportunity to meet Roy Rogers at one of his restaurant openings. I still have the picture, not sure how to post it here though.

Great memory Pebbles. It would be a real kick to see that photo. I hope that you can find someone to scan and post ... or something like that :shrug:
