Roy Rogers & Dale Evans (Jerry Skinner Documentary)

[@armamerica1023]

Roy Rogers was a great role model for me and for all kids. We lived on a ranch and had cattle and horses. One great surprize was when my Dad bought me a Golden Palomino ... I wanted to call her Trigger but she already had a name 'Bonanza' so that was alright with me. Roy and Dale were two outstanding people. Thank you Jerry Skinner for such a wonderful treat revisiting Roy and Dale again! God Bless you all and God Bless America!

[@sarah4601]

I met Roy Rogers in 1967 i was 7. He got down on one knee shook my hand and talked to me like I was the most important person. I remember his beautiful blue eyes and his firm handshake. Years later I became a Real Estate Broker and copied his hand shake. He was a very kind man and I feel blessed to this day having met him. I’ve met many celebrities and related to one but Roy Rogers tops them all.

[@TheSassy777]

Great Guy in real life. He loved the Lord🐎

[@judy-f8x4m]

I grew up loving Roy Rogers, my favorite cowboy. He reminded me of my dad. a true cowboy and great dad, too. ❤

[@lovingmayberry307]

I remember reading "Angel Unaware" when I was 7 or 8 and was deeply moved and remember thinking Roy and Dale must be the most loving parents on the planet. Thank you for another great video, Mr. Skinner.

[@hensonlaura]

I'm just blown away. What superior people they were. I never knew they were so truly GOOD. I never knew Dale Evans was a woman of extraordinary intelligence. Never knew they suffered the crippling loss of 3 children. Never dreamed they were really as kind and wholesome as their characters. I'm beyond impressed; thanks so much for doing what you do Jerry. This was very moving for me.

[@narniagirl1420]

Thank you Jerry, for this tender tribute to two western jewels. I was born in 1952, so as an adult I only caught just a few appearances of them on Trinity Broadcasting Network. When I was small we had an old tv with lot's of "snow" and other signal interference, and our "rabbit ear" antenna did not work very well - so no childhood memories watching them, unfortunately. But I certainly could sense the virtue and love in them when I listened to them as an adult, in a few interviews with Jan and Paul Crouch (of TBN). I hear others being sad about missing them, I miss them too. But I remind myself that I am so glad that as a Bible-believing follower of Christ I will have all eternity to get to know lovely, fun and wonderful people like Roy and Dale. Thank you again

[@billmitchell3329]

Thank you Mr. Skinner for your documentary on Roy Rodgers and Dale Evans.Those memories are etched in my mind and have reminded me of the joys of my youth and growing up watching Dale and Roy.With the help of Trigger and Bullet, Roy and Dale always came to the rescue. Nelly Bell and Buttercup were there too and brought countless hours of enjoyment. Roy and Dale were great Americans and represent everything that is great about America. I knew about their love for children but never realized how extensive their charity and commitment to children went. I thank and praise them and am grateful for everything they’ve done. Their memory lives on!

[@donnakerr4629]

I was born in 1946 and grew up with Roy and Dale every Saturday afternoon. I’m still missing those shows.

[@raymondschneider5217]

Thank you so much for this tribute to Roy and Dale, Jerry. As an airman stationed at George AFB, Victorville, I fondly remember seeing/meeting/talking with Roy and Dale at the Airman's Club during unannounced visits. Memory still shows the joy they both seemed to have talking with us and letting us take pictures, if we had our cameras with us; they were "drop in" visits, as I remember. They didn't announce them in advance and didn't travel with an entourage; just common folks doing something great for us young airmen. I, also, remember with the USO opened a canteen in Victorville (circa 1966 or '67). Yes, Roy and Dale figured in that celebration and were a big part of the enjoyment for us all. They are truly missed; may God continue to Bless Their Hearts and enjoy His time with them. Y'all Be Safe!

[@JerrySkinner1943]

Thank you Raymond for that interesting story. I was in the Air Force in Georgia at that same time. Jerry

[@gomphrena-beautifulflower-8043]

Jerry, this may be my favorite documentary yet. I’m (almost) 64 and grew up with the adventures of Roy and Dale on TV. I never knew about their personal lives until you posted this wonderful account. These were the wholesome actors we could admire and wish we had the same quality today. Thanks Jerry for reminding me of the good parts of growing up.

[@m.e.c.1007]

Special people with big hearts who suffered so much sadness but remained faithful to each other, cared for special kids, and stayed true to themselves. Would that kids of today looked up to such heroes.

[@thunderbird1921]

Most kids and young adults today don't even know this couple existed. I try to tell my fellow younger folks about them whenever I get the opportunity.

[@davidjones8164]

Roy Rogers was my hero when I was growing up and nobody could have been a better model! I never knew there was do much tragedy in his life. I thank you for producing this biography. It gives me a complete picture of my hero - and after seeing this video he is more of a hero than ever before!

Roy and Dale were part of my upbringing. Watching this brings tears of both happiness and sadness. They gave back.

This was wonderful. I loved Roy and Dale as a child and still do. I wish there were more people like them today. The world would be a much better place. Thanks Mr. Skinner.

[@elaineteut6508]

As a child, I watched them all the time on Saturday afternoons. I remember the shows later with Pat Brady and his jeep "Nellie Bell". Great bio Jerry, always look forward to every one. Happy Trails, you brought a tear to my eye

[@gregcoates4305]

I was born in 1949 and had a Roy Roger's bed spread and lunch box. Loved their TV show. Went to the Barnum & Bailey Circus on a class trip in grade school and saw Roy ride Trigger around the Arena. What a thrill that was for all us.

[@geoffburton822]

Beautiful and sad thought, Thomas Hazelwood. Saw them & Trigger at the Calgary Stampede in 1956. Can people be this good, anymore?

[@sylviamcbride6117]

I was born and bred in London England . I thought Roy Rogers , Dale Evans and Gene Autry were the greatest of all people. I used to be mocked because I loved them so much. When Roy and Dale came to England , I begged my mother to let me go to see them but she said she couldn't afford it . We were a large family with little money. I cried, especially as my mother had the newspapers hidden from me hoping I would not find out. I was even more broken hearted when I read that they had adopted the Scottish girl, I wanted that to be me. Well I'm still a fan today of all three Roy, Dale and Gene. That will never change. Thank you for allowing me to read and see them once again.

[@JerrySkinner1943]

Thank you Sylvia for your sad, sweet, story. Jerry

[@otyce]

Thank you Jerry for another great documentary. I met Roy and Dale when they came to our camp in Vietnam and had lunch at the mess tent in 1966. I'll always remember how down to earth they were and how they always had time for their fans.

[@daved7024]

Thank you Jerry for your wonderful documentaries. I grew up watching Roy Rogers. His family is a true American inspiration.

[@virtualselfie6899]

Trigger was my favorite palomino of all time. He lives to a very old age for a horse, 32 years. The way he played dead when that poor bus crashed goes to show you how smart our pets are. Whenever he heard clapping from audiences, he would bow. I grew up with the Happy Trails to You show. Those times are gone now. I played Annie Oakley and couldn't wait till Saturday morning when Mighty Mouse and then Happy Trails came on. We miss you Roy and Dale and your kindness in adopting those special children has marked my life and you've been a trail blazer and inspiration for millions. ~Annie

[@davidborden9698]

Great job. As a kid of the fifties, my best friend Sandy and I would go to Glenn’s Barbershop together to get our haircuts. Sandy would have Glenn to put Gene Autry hair tonic on his hair, and I got Roy Rogers tonic. Of course it it was probably the same tonic. Kids have such great imaginations, and love their Cowboy heroes. Thanks Jerry, from a fan for many years.

Years ago when I was a kid, Roy Rogers was coming to my city to do some kind of show. We had a horrible storm including a small tornado the night before the show. Two young boys, ages 7 and 15 who didn't live far from the arena where the show was going to be was walking to the arena. The younger boy saw something on the ground and reached down to pick it up. It was a power wire that had come down from the storm and he was electrocuted. His brother grabbed him to pull him away from the wire and was also electrocuted. When Roy found out that 2 young boys were killed while on their way to see him, he was really upset. Roy Rogers not only attended the funerals of the boys but paid for their funerals. I will never forget that act of kindness.

[@Rangersly]

I was born in 1965, so too late to be a Roy Rogers fan as a kid. I really leaned about the King of Cowboys in the last 15 years or so. I grew to admire the man, his movies and his values. I now own many of the movies and tv shows on dvd, and collect the Roy Rogers Comics. I really admire the cowboy stars of that era, not only Roy and Dale, but also Gene Autry and Hoppy, and others, good people who lived their lives as they appeared on the screen: with strong values and a generous heart. Happy trails all!

[@thunderbird1921]

I was born in 1998, the year he died, but my family talked about him when I was a kid. I finally said "who is this guy?", they showed me a documentary on his work and life. I have become incredibly impressed with him the older I get. What a truly remarkable man.

Roy Rogers, a true human being for taking on orphaned children, much respect for him and his wife, also the way he cared for his animals.

His trusted companion, "Trigger", wound up as a taxidermy exhibit at Roy's museum in California. What you call "care", I call utter lack of respect. I'm surprised Dale didn't also wind up as a taxidermy exhibit.

I read an article years ago where the family was wondering that too. Especially after he had Buttermilk stuffed. Guess he loved his horse and dog, he couldn't just bury them.

Thanks again Jerry for bringing us fond memories, as well as details we didn't know about Roy and Dale.

I met Roy Rogers in Orlando at Roy Rogers Hamburgers. I watched the Roy Rogers show every Saturday.

What a marvelous tribute, thanks for posting - the early photos of previous spouses, early radio stations, and my favorite studio, Republic, movie grounds I appreciate especially. What I remember most is Roy and Dale's show, with Trigger and all the other animals, as well as reading Dale's books about her lost children. They were very touching. Love your work, Jerry!
