Riding with the Lone Ranger and Tonto

[Fred.Rowe]

Fred,

When I was about twelve years old we moved to Tarzana, California. I was told that Clayton Moore lived on the next block over from me. I had a paper route early in the morning, as I would be riding my bike I would usually see a man on a ten speed going buy me at a good clip. After a week or so he would say hello as he road buy. His voice was the big give away it was Clayton. As it turned out he was out rideing the bike every morning for exercise befor the limo would pick him up and take him to the studio. We became very good friends and I wound up doing all his yard work and washing his cars on the weekend. We stayed friends until he died in 1999, I still have the silver bullet he gave me back in 1956.

When I was sixteen we moved to Canoga Park about six miles from Tarzana. And who lives around the corner but Jay Silverheels. I went to high school with Jay's daughter Linda.

Thanks so much, for your post. Knowing this makes them even more real to me.
The silver bullet! What a treasure. Fred
