OK. Are you Roy, Dale, or Trigger.
About as on topic as much of this ...


None of the above - I'm merely as old as you probably are.
Who was that fat guy - Jingles? Or was that a different show.

I thought it appropriate for this NG but I have discovered that I'm
probably infringing on a copyright by that Yogi Bear guy.

Jingles (Andy Devine) was Gene Autry's side kick. Pat Butram did the
talk in a funny voice/do stupid things honors for Roy.

But in the Roy Rodgers show, what was CHARACTER's name who drove the jeep?

Was the Jeep's name "Nellie"?

PS my parents married the day before Pearl Harbor.

Gabby Hayes?

Roy's other name was Rogers - no "d". I remember it clearly embossed
on my fake leather holsters. (Wait a minute - fake leather wasn't
invented yet??)

Okay, I did some research and found I had that all screwed up. Gene
Autry's sidekick was Pat Buttram. At various times his character was
called: Pat; Pat Jensen; Patrick Smith; and Hap Wallace

The Roy Rogers show had the jeep named Nelliebelle, the driver of the
jeep was Pat Brady.

Andy Devine was the character Jingles or Jingles P. Jones, he was in a
number of Roy Rogers movies as that character. And he played the
Jingles character in numerous other movies, in TV, etc.

This stuff is all too important to be left uncorrected. :)

I was "just starting to show" when your folks got married. I was born
on the last day of the Battle of Midway and my 2nd Birthday was D-Day
(June 6th 1944).

Andy Devine was the honorary mayor of Van Nuys, CA for awhile. He also
owned a small bar in the Big Bear Valley near L.A. Big Bear was frequently
a location for movie making, so the bar was popular way back when. Andy's
bar was expanded and lives on as a restaurant called Captain's Anchorage ...
just in case you're ever visiting Big Bear ... BTW, they say it's haunted.

Man..you guys are old!
I was born August 1949..but always wished mom could have held on a
little longer until the '50's.
The 1940's always looked so black & white, dark & gray/dreary to me.

Continued OT........
I was working as an usher at a theatre in Santa Ana, CA, in the mid fifties,
when Andy Devine and his wife came in to see a movie. I think they had a
home in nearby Newport Beach. That man could really fill up a seat!
