About Me

"HOPPY'S CREED"* The highest badge of honor a person can wear is honesty. Be truthful at all times.* Your parents are the best friends you have. Listen to them and obey their instructions.* If you want to be respected, you must respect others. Show good manners in every way.* Only through hard work and study can you succeed. Don't be lazy.* Your good deeds always come to light. So don't boast or be a show-off.* If you waste time or money today, you will regret it tomorrow. Practice thrift in all ways.* Many animals are good and loyal companions. Be friendly and kind to them.* A strong, healthy body is a precious gift. Be neat and clean.* Our country's laws are made for your protection. Observe them carefully.* Children in many foreign lands are less fortunate than you. Be glad and proud you are an American.~Hopalong Cassidy An American Legend~ This new book will be the definitive account of William Boyd and Hopalong Cassidy, published as a deluxe hardcover coffee-table book in two editions.
