Deadly Daring Deadwood Dick
Deadwood Dick of Deadwood, South Dakota did not really exist except in the printed imagination of Edward L. Wheeler. Not until 1927 was Dick Clarke, stable hand, asked to impersonate the fictitious character, and then came to believe that he was the real Deadwood Dick.

Happy Trails Theatre
One of the greatest thrills I had as a young Roy Rogers fan was Happy Trails Theatre. For those of you fortunate enough to have watched TNN during the 1980's, both Gene Autry and Roy Rogers hosted their own Movie festival.

UNSUNG HEROES
Canada has many historical and fictional heroes. Laura Secord, Terry Fox, Louis Riel and the Voyageurs of Canada's early days were all historical heroes.

Today, these are the heroes that I pay tribute to.

When he died, his chair became a symbol to his family. Though any one else would consider it just an ugly, old wooden chair, I thought of it as a throne from which my father had ruled his kingdom.
