Fred Foy

"A fiery horse with the speed of light, a cloud of dust and a hearty 'Hi-yo Silver!'- the Lone Ranger! With his faithful Indian companion Tonto, the daring and resourceful masked rider of the plains led the fight for law and order in the early western United States. Nowhere in the pages of history can one find a greater champion of justice.

"Return with us now to those thrilling days of yesteryear. From out of the past come the thundering hoofbeats of the great horse Silver. The Lone Ranger Rides again!"

With these words Fred Foy opened the radio broadcast of the Lone Ranger from the late 1940's on radio to the final television broadcast in of the series in the late 1950's. He died on December 22, and was 89. As much as Clayton Moore was the Lone Ranger and Jay Silverheels was Tonto, he was the memorable voice of the series. He also was the announcer on the radio shows 'The Green Hornet' and 'Sergeant Preston of the Yukon.

I really think its a shame that we don't have radio shows like this anymore, at least not really. We have productions like the podcasts, but ensamble cast, live productions are a thing long gone... And we're the poorer for it.

Something interesting...

While at work, I found these signatures on the wall of one of the old storage rooms in the basement of the Baker Building. I figure they should be recorded somewhere, before they got covered over and forgotten in some future renovation- so I took these four pics.

Daily Update!

Not a lot happened today. However, at work last night I started another short story- its about my character in the Old West campaign, Jenny Pagan, and is sort of meant to be her 'origin' in a way. I've a few other shorts in progress as well- one as a background bit for the universe that Ranah is part of, and another that is just a bit of fluff currently named Hellride.

I work tonight and tomorrow night, and then its my weekend. My New Years plans are still not quite fixed, but it'll prolly include at least watching the ball drop on TV at joshuwain's place.
