I enjoyed the book. Take a walk down memory lane as autor Tricia Spencer has carefully compiled letters, poems, and pictures from over 40, pieces of fan mail. You will appreciate this collection if you grew up with Roy Rogers and Dale Evans as it depicts not just their wonderful shows but also how personable they were in responding to fan mail, posing for pictures, and setting a great family example of good morals.
Hear from all ages across the globe what true heroes they represented as public icons. Roy Rogers, often referred to as Father, my Pastor, my hero, and papa by many was not ashamed of his Christian values and took the opportunities to teach moral lessons while encouraging regular faith practices. Perhaps this is why today, many living their seventh and eighth decades would thank him for helping set standards in their lives. As you see photos and recalls of outfits, lunch boxes, and horse mentions used it will better solidify just how popular they were with phrases given off such as "down to earth" and "fun loving" by others.
Known for their infamous Happy Trails song they would well-wish tens of thousands of people on a daily basis. This book will serve as an excellent keepsake as many already have indicated memorabilia they have collected of them through the years. This volume 1 collection will follow in time with another one for added treasure. Gain greater understanding of their family dynamics and the loss of 3 of their children.
Learn too of the nonprofit foundation they established for children in Southern California. Though popularity may run in waves and shifts, the fact is, there will never be another Roy and Dale Evans. May this book collection add to many family conversations and pass down to younger generations the attributes that made this couple so successful. I rate this book highly and recommend it.

David is not in the second book as planned, the result of an inadvertent failure that belongs entirely to me. But I will share his brief and sweet story here. His recollections embody the essence of why Roy and Dale were, and still are, heroes to so many. The reason Roy Rogers invited me was because he had met me many times in the St. I had to go to that hospital many summers when I was growing up to have surgery to repair a cleft palate.
My Journey With Roy Rogers, The King of the Cowboys, and Dale Evans, The Queen of the West
And for my good fortune, my surgeries always happened to be at the time that Roy Rogers, Dale Evans, and Pat Brady would come to visit the children. I remember one particular surgery, when I was 8 years old. My mother lived about 50 miles from the hospital, and on the way to my surgery, her car broke down. But the hospital could not wait for her, so they went ahead with my surgery before my mother arrived. I would be alone. I remember waking up in the recovery room, with Dale Evans holding my hand, and I saw Roy Rogers sitting in a chair with a newspaper in his lap.
The Touch of Roy and Dale Book Volume II
I thought Dale looked like an angel. I still remember thinking that she was the most beautiful person I had ever seen. She told me my mother would be here soon, and that she and Roy would stay with me until my mother arrived. And that's what they did.

They would not let me be alone. They were good, honest, caring people. David's story is a testament to two people who had fame and riches, but who lived as if their greatest success was simply "life". They chose to share of themselves with friends, family and complete strangers any way they could. If there is anything I've learned about Roy Rogers and Dale Evans, it's that their celebrity was not their crowning achievement. It was their humanity. They adopted children of varied backgrounds and circumstances, blending those young lives with Dale's son, and Roy's son and two daughters, from previous marriages.
They understood suffering, losing three of their children far too early in life, and yet their commitment to others never faltered. And they never wallowed in their sorrow. They turned that sorrow into ways to help others. A perfect example of turning tragedy into inspiration is Dale's incredible book, Angel Unaware , the story of Roy's and Dale's only biological child.
Their daughter, Robin Elizabeth, was born with Down Syndrome. Written from Robin's perspective as she looks down from Heaven, the book is an honest, open-heart sharing of the mere two years Roy and Dale had with their beautiful baby girl. The bestselling book profoundly impacted the lives of anyone who read it, especially those lives of other parents with developmentally-challenged children.

Dale's book created an acceptance of those with disabilities that had not before existed, and it is still in print today. More than sixty years after its first release, the book still inspires. Roy and Dale adopted children from varied cultures, and devoted themselves to humanitarian ventures, including their own charity, The Happy Trails Children's Foundation. Roy Rogers and Dale Evans were pioneers in so many ways, sharing their faith, love, and passion for life with any and all.
I'm honored that a donation from the sale of each of my Roy and Dale books benefits the children of the charity that Roy and Dale began so long ago. I never had the joy of meeting Roy or Dale, but through their children and grandchildren, and through the astonishing number of their fans who cherish them still, I've come to know them in a very special way -- through the eyes of others. It's a gift I wouldn't trade for anything in the world. Roy's and Dale's presence lives on in many ways and in many lives. Roy's name even continues to grace modern-day eateries.
I've yet to taste the fare at a Roy Rogers Restaurant, only because I've never been near one, but those namesake restaurants are still going strong on our eastern seaboard, long after Roy was around to delight the people attending each restaurant's grand opening. Still, sorrowful is the day that Roy will be remembered by younger generations only for the delicious fast food that bears his name. It's sad that today's youth don't have someone like Roy and Dale to look up to. Those of us who did have that opportunity learned a lot from Mr.
Rogers about how to lead better lives. The fans, by passing down the real-life heroism of Roy and Dale to younger generations whenever they can, refuse to allow the legacy of this timeless, extraordinary couple pass into oblivion. I've met so many wonderful people during this journey, made so many new friends, and it's all because Roy and Dale still bring hope and camaraderie to those they left behind.
Roy and Dale were Hollywood royalty, but they never acted like it.
