copa157 Port Orange, FL 61, joined Jul. 2010	I just wanted to share this E-Mail I recieved from a friend with everyone. I especially love the message at the end. THE END OF AN ERA....... The Roy Rogers Museum in Branson , MO has closed its doors forever. The contents of the museum were sold at a public auction. Roy Rogers told his son, if the museum ever operates at a loss, close it And sell the contents. He complied. Note the follow-on article truly the end of an era. Here is a partial listing of some of the items that were sold at auction... Roy 's 1964 Bonneville sold for $254,500, it was estimated to Sell between 100 and 150 thousand dollars. His script book from the January 14,1953 episode of This Is Your Life sold for $10,000 (EST. $800-$1,000). A collection of signed baseballs ( Pete Rose, Duke Snyder and other greats) sold for $3,750.

Do you remember the 1938 movie The Adventures of Robinhood, With Errol Flynn and Olivia de Havilland? Well Olivia rode Trigger in that movie. Trigger was bred on a farm co-owned by Bing Crosby. Roy bought Trigger on a time payment plan for $2,500. Roy and Trigger made 188 movies together. Trigger even out did Bob Hope by winning an Oscar in the movie Son of Paleface in 1953. It is extremely sad to see this era lost forever. Despite the fact that Gene and Roy 's movies, As well as those of other great characters, can be bought or rented for viewing, today's kids would rather spend their time playing video games. Today it takes a very special pair of parents to raise their kids with the right values and morals. These were the great heroes of our childhood, and they did teach us right from Wrong, and how to have and show respect for each other and the animals that share this earth. You and I were born at the right time. We were able to grow up with these great people even if we never met them. In their own way they taught us patriotism and honor, we learned that lying and Cheating were bad, and sex wasn't as important as love. We learned how to suffer through disappointment and failure and work through it. Our lives were drug free. So it's good-bye to Roy and Dale, Gene and Hoppy, The Lone Ranger and Tonto. Farewell to Sky King and Superman and Sgt. Friday. Thanks to Capt..Kangaroo, Mr. Rogers and Capt. Noah and all those people whose lives touched ours, and made them better. It was a great ride through childhood. HAPPY TRAILS MY FRIENDS Meet singles at DateHookup.dating, we're 100% free! Join now!

eastfoot Bossier City, LA 58, joined Jul. 2012	NIGHT TIME IN NEVADA (1948) Cookie Bullfincher: Watch yourself; they won't give us any information unless they think we're bums. Roy Rogers: That's why I brought you along. Cookie Bullfincher: Aw, Roy! UNDER CALIFORNIA STARS (1948) [commenting on the girth of the new ranch hands] Roy Rogers: Cookie, if you don't quit hiring your relatives... Cookie Bullfincher: Well, Roy, after their mama died... Roy Rogers: ...we'll never be able to feed Europe! ON THE OLD SPANISH TRAIL (1947) [Roy reads from the paper he has picked up] Roy Rogers: "Your eyes are like deep desert wells, with sparks from silver stars above. / Your voice is sweet as mission bells, your skin is like a marble dove." Don't ever fall in love, Trigger; that's what it does to you. MY PAL TRIGGER (1946) Shug: Where are you headed, Roy? Roy Rogers: I don't know exactly, Shug. But I'm gonna put as a lot of miles between me and here before daylight. Roy Rogers: Time to be here and there he is. You're kind of quick on the trigger, son. Walling: What are you going to name him, Roy? Roy Rogers: I just did. It's Trigger! Roy Rogers: It's like a told you, Trigger. Sometimes it's fun and sometimes it's tough. You got to take the breaks the way they come. Life is sort of like gambling. You can't always win. UTAH (1945) Gabby Whittaker: What're you up to, son? Roy Rogers: I've got a brainstorm, Gabby. Gabby Whittaker: Oh, I know that. But what're you up to? DON'T FENCE ME IN (1945) Mrs. Prentiss: I'm so thrilled. I've never been in the West before. It's so big! Roy Rogers: Yes, it runs all the way to the east, ma'am. Mrs. Prentiss: It does? [Toni has fallen heavily] Roy Rogers: Are you hurt - I hope? [Gabby is lying in a coffin] Roy Rogers: How do I look? Gabby Whittaker, aka Wildcat Kelly: Not dead enough. HEART OF THE GOLDEN WEST (1942) Colonel Silas Popen: Why, by gadfly, sir, that calls for a duel! Roy Rogers: [moving toward him] A duel? Colonel Silas Popen: But first you're going to get a sharp letter from my lawyers. Roy Rogers: How about it, Gabby? Gabby: Me, I'm rarin' for a ruckus too. Pat: And baby makes three. Bob Nolan: Four! Roy Rogers: Well, come on, boys. SUNSET SERENADE (1942) Roy Rogers: In the mean time, you better go catch the cow. Gabby: Ehh, I ain't so sure about that, Roy. Maybe I talk too much. Roy Rogers: Oh, that's all right, Gabby. You're going to back up your words with great deeds. RED RIVER VALLEY (1941) Kay Sutherland: You know, you haven't any proof against Mr. Allison. Roy Rogers: I guess you're right. But if I ever catch him I'm going to pick him up by the heels, and if a hundred and eighty-two thousand dollars falls out, I'll know I'm right. Roy Rogers: It doesn't take much to make Red River Valley folks happy. A little water, and a little soft soap, and they're all in a lather.
