Back in 2010, our friend Bill Katz, of Urgent Agenda, wrote a wonderful post about the passing of a radio legend:
"Fred Foy announced "The Lone Ranger," one of the greatest, and longest-running, radio adventure shows ever. My, how we would sit at those old Emerson and Philco radios and wait for Fred to tell us that the Ranger, and his trusty native-American sidekick, Tonto, were galloping our way.I grew up watching The Lone Ranger. Didn't everybody love Silver, the beautiful white horse?
These days, the show would be considered politically incorrect. But to us, the Lone Ranger and Tonto were heroes, moral and otherwise."
More recently, my sons became real fans too!
RIP Mr Foy! Thanks for:
""A fiery horse with the speed of light, a cloud of dust and a hearty Hi-Yo, Silver! ...""Great show.....great voice!
