did dale get stuffed?

Funny you should mention that. About 25 years ago I saw Roy and Dale on Carson and they mentioned Trigger and Bullet being stuffed and mounted. Dale said something like if Roy went first she was thinking about having him stuffed.

History does not record the answer, but since Roy and Dale had kids, a presumption exists.

Seriously, Roy and Dale's kids were adopted and they did lots of charitable work in this area. IIRC they had one child who died young, may have been mongoloid.

I forgot that! They were very nice folks according to what I heard.

PC Police Advice: No one, absolutely no one says "mongoloid" anymore, Dave.  :o  You're not even allowed to say "Down Syndrome" anymore, Newspeak is "Trisomy 21".

I saw Dale Evans at a Jesus Rally in Chicago in the early '70s (yes, that's what we called them).  She was pretty cool, and yes, they were playing "Happy Trails" as she came to the stage at the Arie Crown.

Nellybelle sold for $116,500. That much for a Jeep that was memorable for always breaking down.  ???

On the plus side, all this means that Roy, Dale and company still mean a lot to some people.
