Some Great Old Photos
Hope you enjoy these photos of yesteryear -- and guess what, there's even a protest march in one of these. You'll laugh when you see the picket signs...

So I don't know if one could really call it affordable, especially if there weren't any regular network broadcasts yet. |

It had taken several years for my parents to save enough to be able to purchase it. I came home from school to be greeted by the Howdy Doody Show. One of the best days of my life! Anyone want to start a trivia thread related to Howdy and his gang? Warning: You will be showing your age... Or, we could discuss Roy Rogers and The Lone Ranger shows. |

I loved The Lone Ranger. I recall the Lone Ranger always sent Tonto into town for supplies. And, almost always, Tonto ran into trouble with the town's ruffians. Later in life, Jay Silverheels (Tonto) became a harness racing driver.

I, too, loved the Lone Ranger. I heard him on radio first, along with Bobby Benson and the B Bar B Riders. The Lone Ranger used excellent grammar and perfect diction, always shot the gun out of the bad guy's hand (using silver bullets!), kept his powder-blue uniform spotless, and was always triumphant. On TV Clayton Moore played him for most of the episodes except for some with an actor named John Hart. I was glad when the "real" Lone Ranger came back.
