HOPALONG CASSIDY

HELP SOMEONE'S CHILD TODAY. OLD HOPPY WILL THANK YOU FOR IT. ************************************************************ *** I WAS THE SATURDAY MATINEE PAL OF YOUR FATHERS, MOTHERS AND GRANDPARENTS. YES, THEY WERE ALL KIDS ONCE. WHEN THEIR PARENTS COULD NOT GET THROUGH TO THEM, MOMS AND DADS TRUSTED ME TO TEACH THEIR CHILDREN RIGHT FROM WRONG. I DID MY BEST TO GIVE EVERY BOY AND GIRL ALL THE GOOD THAT I HAD TO OFFER. IN EVERY EPISODE ON SCREEN, I LED BY EXAMPLE. WE HAD A GOOD TIME, TOO. EVERY KID WAS A FRIEND OF THE BAR 20 RANCH. EACH WEEK, WE HAD A NEW ADVENTURE TOGETHER. GABBY, LUCKY, AND CALIFORNIA CARLSON HELPED ME TREAT EVERY CHILD WITH RESPECT. IT DIDN'T MATTER TO FRIENDS OF THE BAR 20 WHERE A KID CAME FROM, WHAT HIS RACE OR RELIGION WAS, OR WHAT HE LOOKED LIKE. ALL A KID HAD TO DO WAS TUNE US IN ON THE OLD BLACK AND WHITE TV, OR SHOW UP AT THE MOVIES, AND THEY WERE ONE OF US. WHEN WE CAME TO YOUR TOWN FOR A VISIT, YOUR PARENTS AND GRANDPARENTS TURNED OUT BY THE THOUSANDS TO SAY HELLO. THEY WERE ALL GREAT KIDS. *********** THESE DAYS, THE BAR 20 HAS FADED FROM MEMORY. IT IS SAD, BUT THAT'S THE WAY OF THINGS. IF I HAD A WISH FOR EACH NEW GENERATION, EACH WOULD HAVE A HERO TO TEACH RIGHT FROM WRONG, AND TO BE A FRIEND. *********** GOD BLESS YOU ALL. REMEMBER ME TO YOUR FOLKS. Hoppy
