421imlate,

Thanks for the nostalgic list of remembrances. Those things were squarely a part of my childhood. My brother and I would sit in front of the black and white TV and watch not only Gene Autry and the Lone Ranger, but also Roy Rodgers, Hoppalong Cassidy, and Sky King.

On Sunday evenings, we'd lie in front of the radio, spread out the "funny pages" from the newspaper on the floor, and listen to some guy narrate with sound effects several of the strips. That was when the same comics appeared in every paper in the country. Today's culture is much more fragmented. Prince Valiant was always last and never failed to stir my imagination. It inspired me to build a working catapult from my Lincoln Logs powered by rubber bands. Worked great.

This will really date me, but I also remember listening to Amos and Andy and Jack Benny. Damn, I'm getting old. :-)

Thanks again.

Puff
