I

[emmie]

crikey had no idea he was still alive...

[sandyRoe]

RIP. He had a good innings. WElls Fargo, Robin Hood, and William Tell were the viewing highlights of the week for me when I was a kid.

[baza]

I remember it well, in glorious black and white

[DJHawkes]

I am friends with James Drury on facebook ad he's just posted the news, great singer too Dale Robertson was,

[marval]

That is a shame, may he rest in peace.

[Zeuhl]

vaguely remember wells fargo

DR had lovely curly hair, like a pan scrub
and a deep gravelly voice

he was a one-man abrasives event

[DJHawkes]

Did you not watch Iron Horse Zeuhl, it was on on a Monday night when The Monroes had finished, must have been about 1967/68

[Zeuhl]

I do remember Iron Horse DJ now you mention it

I was 12 in 1967 so was moving rapidly onto braless Susan Stranks and Lesley Judd in the childrens tv dept.

And The Virginian of course ...

[baza]

sandyR , what about Roy Rogers or The Cisco Kid?

[DJHawkes]

Yep he's still going strong is Jim Drury, he had a gallbladder op last autumn but recovered well and is as active as ever, he's recently got back in touch with Don Quine (Stacy Grainger) and they've done a few appearances together.

[sandyRoe]

Don't remember The Cisco Kid. But the mention of Roy Rodgers reminded me of The Lone Ranger

[Zeuhl]

I was always intrigued as a kid that the Principal character had no name and was often not in it much when stories featured Trampas

Enigmatic

He was the Wyoming Dr Who

[DJHawkes]

His name was used once in the episode where he got married, to Diane Baker I think it was,

[Zeuhl]

aargh the delovely Diane Baker

She came out of the same mold as Suzanne Pleshette I believe

[lynbrown]

Thanks for these memories. I remember Dale and the Virginian.

[Tizzi24]

I used to love Wells Fargo, The Virginian and Wagon Train with the lovely Clint Eastwood as Rowdy Yates.

RIP Dale.

[LoftyLottie]

RIP Dale. I remember all of them very well indeed. My favourite though was Robert Fuller from Laramie
