Boy, I learn something new every day.<br />I appreciate you coming over today!<br /><br /><br />Hey Marian...<br />There was an old show called Boston Blackie that my sisters and I liked as well.

Never knew the history of him until now. Very interesting. Remember going to the picture show and watching Roy Rogers, Dale Evans, Gene Autry, Zorro, Hopalong Cassidy and many more. Remember listening to Bobby Benson and the B-Bar-B Riders, The Shadow Knows and other radio shows. I remember that we had a Thor Washing Machine with a lid and the radio was on top of it and I would pull up a chair and sit and let my imagination run away with me. Thanks for jogging my memory HermitJim! Hope you are having a great week so far and enjoying your retirement in the Texas country! :) Marian Ann Lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09189162059138923328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2474304103076898115.post-79568434907199311682016-10-12T16:02:33.859-05:002016-10-12T16:02:33.859-05:00You do know that I am related (sort of) to Tom Mix...You do know that I am related (sort of) to Tom Mix, don't you? Well, it is like this. My Grandma's sister married Jack Mix who was cousin of Tom Mix. So, I have heard about Tom Mix all my life. He came from the town of Driftwood, located in Cameron County, in the mountains of Pennsylvania. Yep, I was originally a Pennsylvanian, although I have been a Texas all my life. . .

I posted a picture of it a while back. It is still a long road with few homes on that stretch. Since he had a ranch here he has not been forgotten by the older folks. I showed my daughter the monument and explained who he was.<br /><br />Coffee in the kitchen is a nice cozy place when it rains.JOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05658713978278693047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2474304103076898115.post-82182946329492345052016-10-12T07:43:17.737-05:002016-10-12T07:43:17.737-05:00You can still watch his movies on YouTube.
