I meet Lorne Green and Dan Blocker in the sixth grade. Everyone in our group was excited.

I believe it was Lorne Green!

He was not only "Pa" on Bonanza, but he sang the hit song "Ringo", based on a real-life character.

Dan Blocker was a real strong guy in real life. Before he became a famous movie star, they said he would install the real axel in a car without using anything to jack up the axle! Let me tell you, that would not be an easy thing to do! That is a feat of incredible strength.

Michael Landon was the youngest son, who later starred in Little House on the Prairie.

Bonanza was one of the westerns we grew up watching. All of them (Lone Ranger, Gun Smoke, The Rifleman, etc.) all always had a moral message embedded in the plot, and I think growing up watching them made us better folks. I worry about the current generation.

In 2001, Cheerios did their 60th commemoration of advertising with the Lone Ranger with a kid's lunch box. My Daughter was working at the A&P at the time. I guess the generation thing had already happened, and no one wanted them. My Daughter got one for me, and it is still on my desk.
