Back in 1976 I was in my early 20's and racing dirt bikes around the Apple Valley area. One Friday night about 1:00 AM I stopped at a gas station off Bear Valley RD to fill up the gas cans and gas up my El Camino pulling the trailer. My buddy Steve was filling up the gas cans when an older P.U. truck pulling a horse trailer stopped at the opposite gas pump. Out of the drivers seat jumped Roy Rogers. There was nobody else around at this gas station in the middle of nowhere (back then) at 1:00 AM but Me, Steve and Roy Rogers. We talked with Roy for almost a 1/2 hour about Apple Valley and his vision of making western movies in the area and the reasons why.....Roy Rogers, Great guy, The Real Deal.

[@JW...-oj5iw]

Many people may not understand what you meant in the message. The disease that struck down your brother was poliomyelitis, commonly referred to as polio. It devastated millions through deaths and disabilities. In my family of four, three contracted it with varying levels of effects. My mother was paraplegic throughout almost all of my life until her death. My father had a very bum leg and developed alcoholism early in my life, and allowed it to wreck most of his relationships. He died long before my mother because of the maladies he got due to his alcoholic activities. My sister also caught the bug, but was somehow blessed to have nearly zero effects in her life. We are two diametrically opposite people, and she acted in a way that was a betrayal of me after the death of Mom, so I no longer have a sister. I was very lucky that I never was infected with the virus and vaccines became available to destroy the virus that hurt so many before, including your brother, bless his immortal soul.

I had the pleasure of meeting both Roy and Dale in 1969 at the Calgary Stampede. I was a month shy of my 15th birthday and was a fan of their TV shows. They were so kind and generous with their time as they talked to myself and the other young folks that gathered around. I remember the car they arrived in. It was a big white convertible with a silver dollar studded saddle between the front bucket seats, six guns for door handles and longhorn horns protruding from the front grille. The interior was accented with various western themed ornaments. Im 68 now and still think of that day and realize they were happy to be there by the genuine smiles on their faces. It’s a great memory.

The city Editor of the Calgary Herald invited his two children and my four brothers and me to the Herald Building for a special meet and greet and then we got to watch them give a concert at the old Palace Theatre on 8th Avenue. They were so kind and gracious to all of us - they seemed to my nine-year-old self to shimmer and to enfold everyone in their warmth and love. And yes, like you Brian, I remember that they took time to talk to us and they were happy and smiling! It is a great memory.

My Dad lifted me onto the wooden fence so I could see them better. (In those days, the idea of security was very different.) Leo Carillo rode right up to me, smiled & asked my name. When I told him, he said I was pretty & then leaned over & patted my cheek! To this day, I still remember that experience vividly.

The major problem with "people of faith" is that their faith is based, by definition, on believing that which has no evidence. This can, in certain situations, be very dangerous and, as such, having critical thinking skills, a healthy measure of skepticism and an ability to make decisions based not on dogma but, instead, on facts helps to make our world safer and enables conditions that preserve democracy. Otherwise I totally agree with you.

As children in late 50's and early 60's we watched his TV show on Saturday afternoons and wore Dale Evans, Roy Roger's Halloween costumes.We loved that show, it was obvious they were good people.

Hello 👋 how are you doing today, I hope you had a great day over there dear 😊?

[@bobwallace9814]

He and his wife were a huge deal to those who were very young back in the day. Here's one about Roy most don't know. During the early to mid 70's there was a TV show called Celebrity Bowling. It featured celebrities of the TV day and placed them on teams to bowl against each other. Most were terrible (I don't think Gale Storm bowled over 40). One show, Roy Rodgers shows up on a team. He was still fit and wore a western style bowling shirt with his name on the back. Roy was also using his own custom ball. He throws like 8 strikes in a row to start and bowls well into the 200's. The other celebrities and announcer were dumbfounded that they never knew this about Roy. Roy was a ringer.

[@robstrickland166]

well that was boring, I was hoping for a whiff of scandal, come on now any thing, did he fart in public, pick his nose and flick it into the gutter, swear at his horse just once, anything, by golly mama ain't no body perfect, besides you know who, squeaky cleans give me the jitters, I prefer a little irreverent fun on my journey, just a little not too irreverent, see you at the bowling alley, Will Rogers now there's a man!!!

They refused to allow anything they believed harmful to the people to be shown. They were truly God loving wonderful people. Thank God for them!

I recently discovered Roy Rogers through western movies. I was immediately drawn to his beautiful voice, wonderful smile, gorgeous clothes, beautiful horse, and beautiful wife Dale. I can't get enough of anything Roy Rogers & I listen often to The Sons of the Pioneers who's music that includes Roy's voice, is unlike anything I've ever heard. ❤❤❤

I grew up in that era and always looked forward to seeing him and Dale and reading about their adopted children and his biological children too. He was wholesome, gracious and patriotic as well as Spiritually directed as was Dale. The two of them were looked up to and Trigger and Bullet were household names in my home. I loved his voice and the messages he sent through his music!

People do have the moral caliber of yesteryear. It’s just that the television standards, (and that time that you pine for). have suffered this great moral decline we sadly have seen in every aspect of life, especially in what passes for entertainment these days.

[@tiger8linny788]

Born in 1944, with a Dad who loved music and played guitar, I was made aware of Roy Rogers and the Sons of the Pioneers at a very early age. I loved and admired Roy, Dale and their family and will always cherish the memories of them. . .that goes for Trigger, Buttermilk and Bullet too❣️

[@artmanjohn2]

I was born in 1949 and grew up with Roy Rogers. Cowboys were all the rage from the 1950's to the mid 60's, especially on this new device called the TV. I remember Roy's weekly TV show where he and Dale would sing "Happy Trail to You" at the end of every show. My wife, who is about 10 years younger than me, once said to me after we watched a Roy Rogers' movie, he was still a very young man, "Now, that's a good looking man," no truer words spoken. I'd guess most of the folks watching this video won't have a clue who Roy Rogers is but this is a good way to get the word out, thanks for your video and the memories.

Roy Rogers was my hero even until the present. I loved him like he was my own father. I never had the chance to meet him in person and now at 82 the next place we meet is in heaven. Roy was a tremendous influence in my life. My own Dad had the same qualities that Roy had. I feel blessed that I had two major influencers in my life.

[@Tony29685]

Roy appeared in a British Boys magazine called "The Eagle". Every week I got the mag to read his exploits. He ran a competition in "The Eagle" where you could enter and possibly win a month long vacation at his Ranch. He was one of my all time hero's. I could never win that competition because my father worked for the National Newspaper that owned the Eagle. I still entered every year though. I'm 77 now and live in Canada. I and my buddies often reminisce on our childhoods and Roy, Trigger and Bullet are often in our ramblings. I had a Roy Rogers Hat with the double crown, 2 six guns, and of course the Roy Rogers neckerchief (wild rag). This video brought back so many happy happy memories of all those years gone by. Thank you.

[@douglaswright5689]

As a kid I watched him all the time. Loved reruns. He was a true example of what Hollywood stars should be like.

[@tomdixon1213]

I remember his tv show and his horse. I was sad when it was cancelled, but I never forgot how he ended his shows: with his wife, singing “Happy Trails”. May te Good Lord bless him and his family, including his horse and dog.

[@prissilou]

Roy Rogers was my childhood hero, the star of the serial weekly episodes I watched every Saturday at the movies. Every week I would watch him, Trigger, and Dale defeat the 'bad guys'. I am glad to hear that he was a truly good person in real life, in an age when we hear all the bad backstories of the people we watched as kids. Happy trails to Roy, Trigger, and Dale. Love you!

Every Saturday morning, 10 AM we watched Roy and Dale. You always learned moral values. How to treat others, how to be compassionate. They were a part of my youth and I'm thankful.

[@cometcal2]

I remember visiting the Roy Rogers museum when it was in Apple Valley, CA. I was impressed with how he made the most of his life - even when he wasn't riding in the saddle. I admire his aspiration to be a role model for others to follow. A true superhero from the early western days.

[@paulazajac9155]

Roy was a presence in my young life whose influence can still be felt. He was such a very real good man and still that inspirational image lives inside of me. In spite of so much evil in these times I still respect men and seeing Roy’s face reminds me where that comes from; and from my father as well. Thank God for good men.

Roy Rogers was already past his prime when I was born, but I grew up watching those old Roy Rogers movies. They were as much a part of my childhood as was The wizard of Oz. Even now in my 50s, I still seek out the Old Roy Rogers westerns on KZbin and other streaming services. They continue to bring me the same joy that they did when I was a child and I'm certain they will do so until my last days. He will always have all my honor and respect.

I watched him on TV growing up. I didn’t go to the movies much in the 50’s. I met him at his museum in Victorville when a dozen or so of us in the mid 90’s road our Harleys up see his place. He received a call from one of his staff when we arrived and he came from his home to meet us. He was a very humble man with a great smile. 😊

As a kid, I used to watch Roy Rodgers and Dale Evans on a regular basis. I was even privileged to have met Roy when I was around 14 in Wyoming where he was a regular guest for a hunting competition. He was out at the location where the competitors sighted in their rifles for the hunt. He signed an autograph for me and sat and talked with my brother and sister. He loved his fans and especially children. When we move from Wyoming, we went to California within a couple hours of his ranch. He and Dale had a restaurant and museum in Apple Valley. My 80 year old grandmother came to visit us, and my parents took her up to the restaurant to show her around. While they were there, Roy came in and was looking for Dale (whom he called momma). My parents introduced him to my grandmother. From what I heard, she was totally tongue tied as he was the first celebrity she ever met.

I grew up watching Roy Rogers and Dale Evans. I loved horses, and I had one of my own. I still believe in the values that Mr. Rogers had, and it is such a pleasure to read that he was the same man off-screen as he was on-screen. At 76 years old, I am thankful that I grew up in a time in our country when there were values and beliefs that most Americans shared. We loved our country. I think it terribly sad that our country has drifted so far from my youth, as to be unrecognizable now. Our current government hates America and everything she stood for. They cannot destroy her and the true patriots that still live fast enough!
