We remember Fred Foy (1921-2010) the man who used to say "a fiery horse with the speed of light"...

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.
These days, the show would be considered politically incorrect. But to us, the Lone Ranger and Tonto were heroes, moral and otherwise."

I grew up watching The Lone Ranger.  Didn't everybody love Silver, the beautiful white horse?

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!
