Columnist and staff writer Larry Alexander recalls in ‘Lone Ranger’ as ‘our’ hero” ,
“ ‘Our’ Lone Ranger is, of course, the Lone Ranger, Clayton Moore, who wore the mask almost every year from 1949 until his death in 1999. For all I know, he was buried wearing it… (There was a radio Lone Ranger, too. The series began in 1933 and, starting in 1941, the Ranger was played by Brace Beemer.”)
WATCHDOG: Nothing was more important in our childhood than permission to stay up until 7:30 on Tuesday evenings so that we could listen to the Lone Ranger on the radio. Beemer will always be ‘our Lone Ranger’.
A gift from daughter Jennifer, a picture of the Lone Ranger hangs prominently in our office. When asked who was our “super hero,” there was no hesitancy concerning first place. Captain Marvel would be second. If you remember him, then all we can say is “Shazam.”
