I was on the show with our CubScout den. My sister was to take a picture of the TV when the camera got to me. Got home and took pics of random stuff just to finish off the roll, so we could take the film to get developed. I've still got that pic, shows a TV with such a glare on the screen from the flash, that's all you see. Great memories...RIP Texas Bruce

I won a bicycle on the Wrangler's Club in the late 50s'. We had to draw a larger picture of the Eskimo face on the Eskimo Pie wrapper. I was on the show & "Texas Bruce" presented the bike to me. I rode it to school for several years before I passed it on to my brother. Anyone else enter the contest?

Yes, I was in the Wranglers Club in the early 50's. "Hasta la vista Wranglers"  RIP Mr. Gibbs.

I went down to the studio to see Texas Bruce (in about 1953 or so) and he was a big deal in my youth. Thanks for the post.

Dear Friends, you must honor other of the original St. Louis Kids' TV pioneers, like Fred Moegel, please?
