The Lone Ranger

[84AL58]

Hello sir, I totally agree. I saw Mr. Moore when I was 10 years old and I never got the cance to talk to him I was taken away by my folks. I think the world needs to remember him, maybe a movie should be made about him and his life ,and how we all can become something better. thank you for this video ,AL

[PRMoens]

I'm 62 years old and watching your video brought tears to my eyes as I'm sure it did to many of The Lone Ranger fans. I would hope that those of us who want to keep his legacy alive will share his values with our children and grandchildren. Good job Roger!

[arthur1920]

Roger,

this was very nice. I did feel the passing of Clayton Moore as well.

[Blogengezer]

Tried to emulate the 'Heros' of the long gone past. It worked well for me throughout life. The Lone Ranger was one of my foremost 'Heros'. society today has severe problems due to the lack of interest in real heros. Today youngsters demand instant gratification and not much else. Rivers of Mercy Childrens Home in Juarez attempts to give throw away children an awareness of 'Heros'...

[ezcomezgo11]

Mr. Kiser, though I am only seeing your video now, I assure you that you were not alone in having a heavy heart upon hearing that Mr. Moore passed away. He was one of the best of us.

[ThirdForceBlind]

Thanks Roger! I'm 61 years old now - enough said.  :)

[MegaCrowman]

I am 41 and was touched almost to tears by your video. I too grew up with abuse and lived my teen yrs in group homes/foster homes. It's good for children like us to have a hero to look up to, a role model if you will. The abuse left me with very little time to be a kid. Now at 41 I am reclaiming it by buying childhood toys and cartoons. and I swear NO ONE will take it away again. It's never too late to have a happy childhood. May the creator be with you on your journey to peace. Ty again

[dictionar1]

You, Roger Dean Kiser, are my friend and brother. I was inspired by this great man too in the absence of a male role model in my youth. God bless you. "Heigh-yo Silver!"

[nycolas1712]

Please, let me  know the name of the singer and music. Thank you.

[xtcdeargod]

@nycolas1712 I think it is Randy Van Warmer, You left me(just when I needed you most)

[nycolas1712]

@xtcdeargod ...Thank you ! my friend !!!

[goatrockafellers]

I got to meet The Lone Ranger at a toys for tots in L.A. I was about 6 years old at the time. He was so big and in color, unlike on T.V. A great Man, a shinning example of good.

[gijoefan67]

Excellent work! I grew up in the 70's watchin TLR on Saturday afternoon's. When everyone else was wanting to play Star Wars, I was playing the Lone Ranger. He was, and still IS my number one hero!!!

[personalsolutions]

Thanks RDK - what a wonderful memorial for our masked hero. I'm a 60 year old girl and grew up with the Lone Ranger as my hero on our farm in the UK. I loved the Lone Ranger and have only just re-discovered him, strange,...it's like yesterday. All kids get lonely even with parents and brothers, but it helped having him around every week letting us know some really important growing up life lessons.

[imback4thcav]

Thanks! Great Memories!!

[RangerAlways]

Well done, RDK. Several men played the Ranger but Clayton brought him to life. I have grandchildren & TLR is STILL my hero. Good values never die but are passed on. William Boyd, Hopalong Cassidy was another that became his character. On a London tour, Boyd was met by thousands of fans. In bad weather to boot. Boyd was on a tight schedule but stayed & signed autographs to the last one making him late. He said, "They came to see Hoppy & I can't dissapoint them." Clayton & Bill, still heroes.

[BiggieJack]

Thanks for the great video. We never missed THE Lone Ranger as kids. Clayton Moore and Jay Silverheels were our hero's.

[master008x]

Made me smile and be a child again.. nice video.

[nowonboard]

This is the time of year when Clayton Moore and Jay Silverheels riding in the The Hollywood Christmas Parade. Was the highlight of the Parade for me and a sad when he was striped of his mask!

Thanks for the memories!

[rhb909]

Thanks,Roger for this great tribute to "The Lone Ranger"!If only kids today had a hero like him,this would be such a better world!Clayton Moore will always be "THE Lone Ranger"May his legend live on for ever! Thanks for the memories!! Sheriff R.H.Beltner, Taylor Co. Sheriffs Dept.,Grafton,WV.

[RangerAlways]

@rhb909 You are correct, sir. No one could ever take the place of the man that taught so many of us so many things. I've tried to give my kids & grandkids the same lessons as a reminder that we CAN be better to each other, fight for right, & stand for truth, even if we start out as only 1 person.

[Carolina46976]

Extremely well done..Thank you.

I met Clayton Moore circa 1970 when he appeared at a bank opening in Indianapolis, Indiana. He was dressed as the Lone Ranger and it was a huge thrill. He was one of my heroes also. Several years ago, someone decided to remake the Lone Ranger movie and instead of hiring Clayton Moore to promote it, they sued him to force him to stop wearing the mask. These people are what we call fools! Clayton Moore was, is, and always will be the Lone Ranger.

[cabby124]

i like this a lot...

[tigersharka]

Thank you Riger...it was very well done. I met Mr. Moore when I was a child. He rode in on Silver for a promotion. I was in awe...and still am. He will always be a true American Hero to me...and many others. "Hi Yo Silver.....away"

[elliottfour]

Nicely done!

[RangerAlways]

Very well done. Clayton Moore was one of Republic Pictures resident bad guys in seriels such as the Crimson Ghost. When he heard that auditions were being held, friends such as Jock Mahoney suggested he try out since Moore was already living the part in real life. I learned more from the Ranger than anyone else on this earth. Many others portrayed the ranger but Clayton Moore gave him life.

[holmsatlarge]

strange how a fictional character can live in an actor.thank you for this tribute to both figures.brought tears to me.

[judgedredd123]

The sign of an Intellectual:-

Someone who can listen to the William Tell overture and not think of The Lone Ranger.

I must be thick

[cupidncomici]

What a great tribute, Roger. As a boy in 1949 he meant a lot to me and my friends, also.

[jimeronimo]

What a great thing you've done for all of us that can call ourselves blessed to have watched him as kids. I think back to how I felt watching those episodes and every time the same feeling comes. He just had a way of making you want to be a better person. The original hero to look up to next to my Dad. Thanks again, Jim

[borzoix4]

What a lovely tribute!

[blagger56]

When an Icon of one's childhood dies, it makes one very aware of one's own mortality. Good always prevailed in the end, and he never cheated or lied.

[4444terry4444]

Randy Van Warmer is the singer of this song

[scribledacious]

can anyone tell me who sing this song?? please

[memondca]

carly simon

[jayjayvet]

Wow. What a great sentiment. As a small boy I actually got to see the Lone Ranger and Tonto in person at the circus and passed by within just a few feet of them as we collected autographed photos on the way out. Your tribute is perfect and I thank you for it, Kemosabe.

[cabby124]

wow this is nice

i was reading slam and they talk about that and i just look it up its is good.

[witness2history]

The Lone Ranger was a hero to me when I was a child, and Clayton Moore was a hero to me as an adult. God bless them both!

[meriprem]

But the open heart and goodness had to already lay within you somewhere or it never could have been brought out. You need a great big hug: )::

[ElCuloCagaoo]

Thank you Mr.Kiser for your touching tribute. And thank you Clayton Moore for being 'The Lone Ranger' and so much more.

Adios Kemo Sabe, may your memory ride forever. Adios Llanero Solitario.Fuistes mi gran heroe cuando yo era un chico.Gracias Sr,Kiser y Gracias Sr,Clayton More *El Llanero Solitario,

[chessman39]

Before TV there was radio and every monday, wednesday, and friday at 7:30pm came the "thundering hoof beats of the great horse Silver" and the Lone Ranger rode again. Each one of those nights at my house or the house of one of my friends, we kids sat in fron of the radio and quietly listened to Fred Foy announce the beginning of the program.  On radio it was Brace Beemer as the Lone Ranger. Sadly, my memory fails me to remember who played Tonto.

Regards,

.

[LaneRyder]

Return with Us now to those ThrillingDays

of YesterYear From Out of the past comes the Thundering hoof beats of the great Horse Silver. The Lone Ranger Rides FOREVER...

[daisy245]

Thank you, Roger, for doing this. You are a special person too.

-a long time Lone Ranger Fan

[greyhawk000]

i get really ticked when someone hits Tonto. i mean, im indian too and i get treated like dirt too sometimes but Tonto kept going and i will too. indians have to be stronge in what they do of we never would have made it in the white mans world. bless you Jay Silverheels and Clayton Moore.

[gun91ner]

Thank you Mr. Kiser for putting into words what I also felt the day I learned of Clayton Moore's passing. I have had 2 hero's in my life, my father and the Lone Ranger. In this time of turmoil and terrorism, I can look to both for comfort and strength. Mr. Moore was more than a hero, he was an example. He walked the walk. You knew where he stood and for his influence in my life I will be forever greatful. Adios Kemo Sabe, the world is a darker place without you in it.

[frostypo]

This video speaks for all of us. God bless you, Clayton. We miss you so.

[loadi2]

im 60 years old -he really was a sinble of justice on tv and in real life...hi yo silver my friend--THANKS

[sbrown049]

As a child of the 50s, I to watched, learned and admired the man, the man he played and was. Alas ,those are indeed the days of yesteryear. As long as we remember him and what he was, he will never die.

[1891may4]

You shouldn't blame the media. The media is the hearts of all that watch it. For them, it's all about ratings.  For the world, the Lone Ranger's just and old ranger, but you're right. Some people deserve a longer moment of silence than they're given.

[agwheels]

Thank you Mr. Kiser. You have said what so many of us have felt.  Clayton Moore touched so many lives. I had he privilige & honor to meet him on several occasions, and one of my most cherished posessions is a personally autographed copy of his autobiography, "I WAS That Masked Man."

Thank you Mr.Kiser for your touching tribute. And thank you Clayton Moore for being 'The Lone Ranger' and so much more.

Adios Kemo Sabe, may your memory ride forever.

[marlinlar]

All of America lost something the day that he passed away!

[pvb1347]

I could not agree more with Mr Kiser, The Lone Ranger made me what I am today. I lived in a house were there was no love or hope and had an abusive father. But I always knew that the Lone Ranger would save me, and he did today I have a wonderful family and I'm a police officer living by the same values that I learned watching the Lone Ranger and other heros like him.

Thank you Lone Ranger

[csharp798]

The way he was treated by the network brass was a slap in the face to Clayton Moore and all of us who grew up loving the man. I was lucky enough to get an autograph from Clayton at the Cowboy Gathering in Ft. Worth, Texas and he WAS a gentleman, and I left him knowing I have met a true American Hero.

[AffectionateDan]

I'm man enough to admit that I shed a tear during this. I discovered this tribute when doing a search in here for The Lone Ranger, and it's a little slice of my heart to know that Clayton Moore has passed on. His memory will be in American hearts for generations to come. A true hero has been lost, a tragic loss when today there are so few to look up to. My chance to meet him in this lifetime may be gone, but hopefully I'll have the chance on the other side. Rest in Peace, Kemo Sabe.

[johngsteel]

In my youth, I got up early to watch "The Lone Ranger" on our black and white TV set. Shows like this shaped me to do what must be done, to do a greater good. It was an example of good character, of respect for others. He was a real hero to e.

Thank you so much for posting this video in respect of a great man, a great hero.

[johno934]

made me cry to hear that,thats all i watched as a child and i wanted to b like them

[mattsabby]

Thank you Roger for that very touching memory of Clayton Moore. I cry every time I hear of one of my childhood heroes leaving us. I was fortunate enough to actually speak to one of my childhood heroes in September of 2008, Sheriff John Rovick. FOr those of you not from the Los Angeles area, we kids in the 50's and 60's ate lunch with Sheriff John everyday before or after school. Like THe Lone Ranger, John Rovick IS truly like the dear man he portrayed on TV. God Bless both of these fine men!

[alectrician]

What a guy! He was my childhood hero, still is.

Nice tribute roger, thanks.

[gchamp73]

I am very gratefull that he touched so many lives he made me the type of person I'm today. Thank You RIP

[RogerCG1]

I was very fortunate to have interviewed Clayton Moore at his home in CA. What a great and honorable guy. He WAS the Lone Ranger. I asked him if he could live at any time ever , when would it be and what would he be doing. Not surprisingly he said --"I'd live in the Old West and I'd be a marshall." He meant it too! In 1993 I ran into him again at the Wrangler Awards at the Cowboy Hall of Fame. I sat at his table and he congratulated me when I won as the writer of a western TV special.

[nycolas1712]

....Very good!!!

[nycolas1712]

Beautiful !

[JJohnston4Life]

When did he die?

[kehefoods]

Long live the Lone Ranger! Gone but never forgotten. We need you and what you stood for now more than at any time in our history. Hi Ho, Silver! Away!

[lifeisarock66]

there is a petition going on right now (9-08) to put Clayton Moore on a US postage stamp. Please sent the USPS a letter today. They WILL NOT responde to Email. If Elvis can have a stamp the LONE RANGER is certainly deserving of one!

[duckmazuma]

I can still remember growing up in a foster home in TN when i used to watch the Line Ranger, he was my hero. and he will always be my hero. He showed me that people can be nice and honest if they want to. Thank you so much for this video it really hits the heart. Keep up the great work!

[bascia3125]

Thank you so much for this video.. Hi Ho Silver!!! Love Mr. Moore and always will He is my Hero!!! Foreever and ever....

[ChaplainGeorge]

The title should be the "Life of an American Hero". Growing up, the highlight of my week was seeing the Lone Ranger. So much of what I am came from him..

God Bless...

[lifeisarock66]

I had the honor of shaking Mr. Moores hand twenty years ago. I am 62 and I still believe!

[michaeleyeofthetiger]

If you look for a pure heart of love and integrity, even holy, righteous and worthy to be worshipped: Jesus Christ died at the cross for sinners who believe in him. And he has risen! He is alive! And all those who trust in him are alive with him! God bless you!

[unrealaldridgeguy]

I couldnt agree with the opinion of this video more....lovely post....keep em coming!

[Mossy590A1]

Very nice.

[bigshadow451]

It was 1952 in the appalachians;the Lone Ranger was the real king of the cowboys. They were all portrayed as honest and brave, fighting evil and injustice. The cowboys made an impression on me,believing one man could make a difference. Once and a while I would meet another masked man wearing a white hat: it was always the same; heavy influence of Clayton, Roy or Gene. You are not the only one influenced by this one man's life. Clayton Moore alias The Lone Ranger: We are not alone Tonto.

[friendlyisle]

Brought a tear to my eye - I was a big fan also.

[lon40]

One word...Beautiful.

[hustedge]

The Lone Ranger Clayton Moore rides forever in many hearts and now on the clouds in heaven. The greatest Cowboy who showed many of us how we should live our lives while he was on the screen and when he was off.

[popsmurf1150]

Where have all the Cowboys Gone? wherever they are I want to go too. I too still get goosebumps when I hear the into music. I'm 52 years young and will forever have a bit of cowboy in me thanks to Clayton, Roy, Gene, Hoppi, and all the others who stood for right and gave us a goal in life. Till we meet on the trail I sit and yearn for those great days of yesteryear.

[ggenaw]

Hi Ho Silver...Awayyyyyyy....

[RubyWraith]

What a FANTASTIC tribute! Very touching!

Clay Moore was a great hero to me as well. A real man. Clean living and great role model.

He is greatly missed. Thank you for this.

[Blogengezer]

The differences between Britney Spears and her crowd are like the blackest night vs the bright shining day of Clayton Moore. Roy Rogers was a kin to my Grandmother (Sly). Had fun with that in years past. 'Angel Unaware'?

[bluegoos23]

Far cry from the crud that comes out of that town in southern California today. Can't remember the name of it??? Something 'wood. Oh well!!

Nice post Roger.

[powwowdoc]

Thanks Roger, He was my hero as well for all the resaons you've stated. I too was an abused little boy who, because of Clayton Moore and a few others, clung to the idea that a man could be strong and yet kind and respectable. He showed us all how to walk with grace and dignity in an often stupid world and you're right, he never failed us even off the screen.

God bless you Roger, may we all ride together someday into the sunset. Who knows, he and Tonto just might be waiting for us.

[peterpoi]

Taanks for your video, brought tears to my eyes.

[tedly1911]

Thank you, Roger.

I grew up listening to the Lone Ranger on the radio, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday nights, and later watching him on television.

He was a shining light in an otherwise sad childhood.

He was my hero, and I can think of none other from those clouded days in the 1940s and 50s.

I, too, was saddened by his passing, and what I wouldn't have given to have actually met him.

Clayton Moore was truly a one-of-a-kind individual, and his like will probably not pass our way again.

[drobushi]

Hey Roger, My Name is Dave R. I was abused as a kid too. Interesting at 43 I still look to my childhood heroes . I just Met the cast of the batman series. Interesting how we feel the same about Adam, Burt, Yvonne, and so on. My friends has a great Batman site. Thanks for posting

[BettyK1958]

Wow.

[DRCharltonJr]

I grew up on the likes of My Friend Flicka, Fury, The Lone Ranger, Roy Rogers, Champion the Wonder Horse, and many others. I admit to getting pretty blurry eyed watching this. Perhaps this is what we're missing in the world anymore, genuine heroes as well as leaders. Thanks for posting this Roger...

[fifer50]

What a beautiful and moving tribute to a childhood hero of nay of us who lived through the 50s as a child.

[venusironmaiden]

i am 32 years old i remember when i was 7 i would ask my granddaddy when the long ranger was coming on and he said they took it off the air .i always wonder why it was clean and i could not get enough of it yes at hollween to this day i dress up as this day 2007 .i dress up as long ranger side kick he may have passed away but not forgotten.please forgive my typing and spelling i'm very new to the computer world like very new no typing lessions or spelling lessions have a great day

[prausch65]

Well done and its heartwarming to see that a great American hero as Clayton Moore touched your life.

[GTbooster]

Thanks for the memories. Life was simpler than. People like me were taught honesty at school, at home, at church, and even from the television shows we watched. How things have changed.

[RogerCG1]

Clayron Moore was a GREAT man. I interviewed him at his home. Years later, he was present in Oklahoma City when I won a Wrangler Award from the Cowboy Hall of Fame for writing. He had won a Wrangler years before. I could receive no greater honor than to be linked to him.

[frostypo]

Wonderful tribute to a wonderful hero! I will always love him.

[lionheartcr]

You tribute is very good. I got to meet Clayton Moore. He was the Lone Ranger.

And Jay Silverheals taught me to be proud

of my indian heritage. I miss them both

We need heros like them for kids today to be like.

[panicoal]

THANK YOU ROGER

[pedazoeputo]

very nice tribute ,Im 48 years old from argentina and I was influenced too by the masked man ,beutifull words ,you may be a good man greetings!!!!

[footrope1]

Very touching. Sure wish I could have met him.

[cabritorsss]

One day, in the west, the Lone Ranger and Tonto were surrounded by angry indians. The Lone Ranger said "Tonto, we're in a lot of trouble today", Tonto answered, "what do you mean WE white man".

[BROCOCK]

So Sad....I to loved the Masked man,Tonto and Silver,and "yes" he was a influence in my childhood..!!!I'll never forget...

[TexarkanaBraveheart]

Even though I born in 1976,as a kid in the 80's I really enjoyed watching the re runs,it inspired me to dress as the lone ranger for halloween. it was my favorite halloween experience

[jimmy37404]

Don't we wish for the hero's of the past to be with us now. The ideals that they took , even if the charactor was fiction, were right and now they are considered old-fashioned. I only wish...

[nocovercharge]

The only way The Lone Ranger would have gotten media exposure is if their was a scandal to tell. the news media has no time for Heroes anymore, and I have no time for the news. Times sure have changed.

[DeerKillerBeemer]

This is a beautiful video and a wonderful tribute to one of the most famous who portrayed the "masked man." It's sad that many of my generation have no idea who he is, or what Clayton Moore stood for. The only reason I know is because my grandpa was Brace Beemer, who portrayed the masked man on the radio (he didn't want to portray the legendary cowboy on television because he believed it to be a lesser form of acting.)

[stormywindmill]

Growing up in the 50s The Lone Ranger was and still is my hero, No matter how bad it some times gets so long as we can look up at the sky line and see the silhouette of The Lone Ranger and Tonto we know All is not Lost, Hi Yo Silver Awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay !!!!

[EstrelitaReyes]

Thank you so much for this heart-felt tribute to the life achievements of Clayton Moore. I met him once - during the flap about whether or not he could wear the mask at public appearances. A true gentleman of the old school. He will always be greatly missed. Sincerely, Estrelita

[sagapu43]

Roger, thanks for putting your video on the youtube. Very nicely done and a tribute to the masked man. His private life, like Roy's and many others of his time deserve to be put out to the public for both those that remember him as well as the many people who will get to know him via this video. The song is most appropriate also.

[Gernot]

Thank you, Roger, for this video. Mr. Moore was a hero to several generations, and thanks to reruns, he will CONTINUE to be a hero to many more. :)

[pattonformom]

The Lone Ranger will never die as long as we hold his memory dear in our hearts........ and remember what he stood for........... ride in peace, masked man.

[rsaccuci]

Thank you for posting.

[AngryAgain]

wonderful tribute

[musicalmarg]

I am female and live in UK. I used to watch The Lone Ranger when I was a 10 year old tomboy - not a bad role model, and there are hardly any these days. I was sad when I heard he had died, and you can see from the photo that he was a really nice man. This piece is very moving and totally appropriate.

[foxbat008]

Thank You So Much Roger

That was well worded and perfectly presented.

Sadly the true American Hero has been discarded for the cheap and dirty. It a sign of what is happening to America and all it values that it once stood for.

We are being sold for the cheap now. Every thing is being made in another country.

Sadly America is not the same country anymore.

The Lone Ranger was Mr. America to me = Real Values

He was not afraid to stand up for the right.

[cyborlite]

I can't agree with you more. You're video says it straight. I had the pleasure of meeting Clayton Moore in the early 80s. I was assitant director of promotion for a Southern California shopping and I arranged for him to appear at our mall. He was a very gracious gentleman. The photo in your video of him holding his mask is how he looked when I met him. A wonderful memory, just like the TV show.

[jonbadart]

Through the years many of the people who've come to know me the best eventually get around to asking me why I'm such a "square". I always take it as a compliment and tell them it happened when I was a kid . . . . every weekday afternoon at 2:30.

[tss77]

Thank You Roger Dean Kiser because a part of My Child-Hood and Adult life was very sadden at the death of Clayton Moore a True American Hero and inspiration to me. Moore really was the Lone Ranger and thanks for giving Us so much.

[PARA2417]

Thanks for this, like you when I was a young boy he was the hero to aspire too. He once came to my hometown of Edinburgh, Scotland for s stage performance when I was about 6 and the whole city seemed to stop for him. Thousands of worried parents trying to get tickets. Yet he did not even get a mention at the oscar ceremony "In Memorium@ when he died. Where is the justice in that.

[the60sKid]

Thank you Masked Man! Oh how we desperatly need you and the American ideal you nobely represented to the past generations now.

[JSEPTX]

I loved watching that show as a kid on Saturday Afternooons. Clyton as the L.R. did represent all that is good in this country. Today's kids don't know who the Lone Ranger was or what he symbolized and its sad. I'm almost 50 and I still get excited when I hear the William Tell Overture because I know whose coming... The Lone Ranger!

[Hairydog9]

Thanks so much for the tribute, he was just as much a role model to us kids in the UK too.. and dare I say, so was Dale Robertson in Wells Fargo, fortunately he is still able to read this, .. Thanks Mr Robertson.

[jerryin741]

Great video and i concur that Clayton Moore was the Lone Ranger and he will be missed and longed for.

[diddymuck]

long live the memory of an american legend

[willybrick]

Sad they wouldn't let him wear the mask for appearances late in his life.

[Drake6970]

Thank You...This was one of the most moving tributes I have seen. I still have the story of Mr. Moore hanging on my desk at work after he passed. A True American Hero.

[MarleneSB]

Absolutely beautiful and moving tribute to a real gentleman. Thank u.

[simbrow]

the lone ranger was a role model for me when i was growing up i never missed an episode. he was good in short he said be good

[FloobyMcT]

Exceptionally well done. Thank you for sharing this with us.

[ZZZPAPPY20]

YOU'RE THE GREATEST

[wolfhunter0321]

Wow, Thanks, I feel the same way...The Long Ranger is one of the greatest American Heroes of all time.

[ajasanar]

What a fantastic tribute to a true great man, thank you

[BeatBuddy]

Hiyo Sliver!

[AngryAgain]

That was beautiful. Thanks !

[KipperSarnie]

Amen

[jeffrundy]

Bless you, Little Roger Dean. Twas wonderful, thanks, and Happy New Year!

[2yng2di]

Very moving. (Friendly note: the first text slide has a typo 'Long Ranger'.)

[vbywrde]

Thank you. I appreciate your sentiment.

[formerrocker]

Great tribute to a worthy man! Very nice job. You picked one of my favorite songs too. I'm glad you made your life meaningful too!
