I was a child of the 50's,and I really enjoyed going to our local cinema on Saturday mornings to see the latest cowboy films on show. I loved all the stars and regarded them all as heroes.However Gene Autry was, and still is my favorite.Good looking,tough,fast on the draw and kind hearted.He was the epitome of what a hero should be.Neat and clean in mind body and spirit,that was how Gene was.He was a perfect example to little boys such as I was.I only wish I could have met him in person.I am now collecting his movies on D.V.D.thankfully we have this technology so that we can show our children that fine upstanding people like Gene Autry were once around not only to entertain us,but to also inspire us and teach us right living.Thanks Gene, we miss you.
