Heroes—Today is the Twentieth Anniversary of the Death of Roy Rogers

Originally posted by ltbarber: I had the honor of visiting his museum in Branson shortly before it closed. The security guards wore levis and cowboy hats. They had Roy's guns there. The handgun with the most holster wear was a S&W Model 27 6-inch barrel. I saw all the artifacts. Wow.
Toured the original near Lancaster, CA, in the 80s I suppose. At that time, Roy and Dale lived on their ranch (the R R ——, no doubt) a short distance away in Apple Valley. I hoped they would stop by, but, no joy.

We had the coolest toys as a kid back then.
While I didn't have that one I had a Mattel "shootin shell" revolver > the best toy ever! One of these:
Can you imagine the Liberal Head Explosions today? Putting an encapsulated sliver of gunpowder on shell with an actual projectile for kids 8 years old?
