This wonderful Christian couple have to be spinning in their graves
predictable!
Roy & family certainly were/still are highly visible Americans, and....
My Saturday afternoon heroes.
I met him once, when I was little, at a gun club. He wasn’t very nice and didn’t even want to give me an autograph. I also remeber how squinchy his eyes were. I never forgot and I never liked him after that. I was so disappointed.
I ran the numbers to find the interest rate on $25K over 58 years to get to $1M.
It’s an interest rate of 6.56675% per year. Not that tough to get today.
doomed by bitter family feuding,

I am very sorry. I believe they were very dedicated and devoted parents.
I live 1 block away and thought it was odd at the time of closing. (a little early for Branson)
Thank God for the National Enquirer. They must have been tracking Vince Vaughan. He was here last week.
Lot’s of my heroes were sometimes jerks to fans. Pete Rose the baseball player, whose determination I admired greatly, was that way. It doesn’t mean that you don’t learn things from watching them.
May favorites were these guys. A little bit more of an edge. Once in a while Pancho drank too much
Sad to hear but it just confirms what so many of us believe and advocate. Nothing is forever. I don’t belive that Roy and Dale would disagree. Their memory lives on in music and film and will continue to do so for a very long time.
Roy was never as wealthy, in the monetary sense, as other actors of his time. Somewhere I saw a video of him plowing his garden. Wonderful man, spent a fortune on all of his adopted kids. This is how they repay his memory.
hard to keep a museum afloat when most people are too young to even know who they are...
I am 47 and I never once saw any Roy Rogers or Dale Evans on tv or movies... they weren’t in syndication I guess...
they sound like great people though.
I am old enough to remember the before TV days when it was all on Radio. I can remember when TV first came out, my folks had a tv with a small round green screen but how we loved it. The Honeymooners, Amos and Andy, Lawrence Welk and then the Saturday western shows. Such great memories.

The Happy Trails Foundation helps abused children. They raffle an exceptional 6 gun outfit every year and have raised over $1M. So they’re some good being done.

“IRS demands”
Probably inheritance tax. raiders like Buffet love that.
I got to know Roy Rogers at the Saturday morning matinees. In 1962, children of American servicemen and civilian personnel would troop into the movie theater at the Hindenburg Barracks in Bad Kreuznach, Germany each Saturday morning to watch a program which began with a serial such as “Panther Girl of the Kongo” or “Radar Men from the Moon,” to be followed by a feature film. Many of these films featured Roy Rogers and included “In Old Amarillo,” “Under California Stars,” and “Hands Across the Border.”
I was probably among the last American children to have experienced Saturday morning matinees.
