    The last survivor of the radio Lone Ranger cast I mean. Are any others
    still with us, or have they all hi-yo silvered away and exited the stage?

    Folks;

       The postman, doing his best "Ho! Ho! Ho!" impression, delivered a set of
    2010 FOTR Convention DVDs to my doorstep today! While I'll be too busy today
    what with preperations for the Jolly Old Elf's midnight arrival and all, I'm
    pretty sure tomorrow after the presents are opened and the turkey is carved
    I'll find the time to view again a certain Blondie [removed]  ;)

       For those who attended, these make a perfect rememberance; for those who
    couldn't attend, these are the next-best-thing to having been there!

       You can find the order form at:

    Subject:  Fred Foy Interview

    Hi All!
    I too, like so many others, am saddened by the passing of Fred Foy. For those
    who are interested there is a 2 hour inteview with Fred at the following link:

    [removed]

    It is in 3 chapters. I believe in the final segment he recreates the famous
    opening of The Lone Ranger.

    Enjoy and Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone on the list.
