All I can say is that you were a nice looking, all-American, clean-cut looking boy, and you were fortunate to have such thoughtful and adventuresome parents who took you to such interesting places. I guess that is part of why you are so level-headed, now, as an adult, having had such a wonderful childhood, HONDO.

Except for the fact that since 3rd grade I was in a different school and location every year until high school. Always having to make new friends was a challenge. But my 8th grade teacher and my high school English teacher had a profound impact on how I am today.

So I was right when I said Tonto under the first photo of him.

I recognize the rock formations from too many movies and TV shows, but I can't place the name of the location; not recognizing her either.

The movie ranch was the location for many western movies. It was open to the public on weekends where they put on western skits and you could associate with the actors and actresses that were there that weekend. In its later years Bob Hope bought the place. It is just a part of history now...

Vasquez Rocks outside of LA? Paramount Ranch (which burnt down in the last set of fires)?

Is that Gale Storm on the horse with you?

He played the part of Tonto twice in the 30s. But Tonto was not his name.

It is not Gale Storm.

The name of the place is Corriganville. Owned by Ray "Crash" Corrigan

This video was produced by a person that went to the same high school that I did. Hawthorne High. Cougar town.
Also the home of the Beach Boys

Now who is the actress

Corrigan is listed as having been married to a Rita Jane Smeal.

The boy in those photos seems like he would always have been well-received and liked, everywhere, a personable and engaging soul.

That was his first wife. This is his second wife.

But my 8th grade teacher and my high school English teacher had a profound impact on how I am today.

So they are the ones we should file the lawsuit against!

My 7th grade English teacher (a gal who might have weighed 98 pounds soaking wet) was most memorable. Never had to crack a book in ANY English class after she was done.

As diminutive as she was, I never saw anyone give her any sass! She had a paddle made out of a 2x4 painted red hanging in her classroom. Never saw her actually lift the thing!

A little corporal punishment never hurt anyone.

Got it....Mrs Corrigan 2

You got. Mrs Corrigan 2 except her name is Elaine Dupont.

[E7]

I wouldn't have known who she was no matter how many clues you gave. The only "celebrity" DuPont I can think of is Andre "Moose" DuPont. I think he was a Broad Street Bully!

Now, those are hats ! "10-gallon" ?
