Our collection of DVDs of Roy Rogers and Dale Evans is second in size only to our John Wayne collection.
I thought I shared this story a few years back, after the Dean Smith Celebrity Rodeo in 2004, but I have searched high and low and can't find it, so I guess I'll tell it now.
I have friends who gave me a John Wayne cast mug (from Rooster Cogburn). I was visiting them one day, and we were talking about John Wayne, and then the conversation turned to Roy Rogers and Dale Evans, and Mrs. N mentioned that when she was a kid growing up in southern CA, she lived near the Rogers family and was friends with their daughter, Cheryl. A couple of months later, in November of '04, I was at the Dean Smith Celebrity Rodeo, and helping to sell Fred Landesman's book at a table that just happened to be right next to none other than Cheryl Rogers. As happens at events like that, the vendors get to chatting to each other, and all of a sudden I remembered my conversation with Mrs. N. (whose phone number I just happened to have in my cell phone). So I called their house, and she was home, and I said, "I have someone here I think you would really enjoy talking to," and I handed the phone to Cheryl. They were both very happy to be talking to each other, and had a real nice chat. I was able to bring back an autographed copy of Cheryl's book
