One of my fondest memories is the 'bunkhouse' segment. This was a 1/2hr. program that
preceded the actual Boomtown show. The shows I remember were back when Pablo was
Rex Trailer's sidekick.

I'll bet that you'll agree that show had something special about it. I mean, I felt like I was actually there! I can remember being up
before my parents,sitting there in my pajamas and almost like it was  part of a sleep over or something! I mean, it was just
Rex,Pablo and me for that quiet 30 minute program.The show always seemed to revolve around      
some subject later revisited in the Boomtown telecast.

I remember Rex teaching the kids how to saddle a horse. He went from start to finish and told how important it was to tighten up
the straps under the belly. I think every kid back then thought that someday they would have their own horse! So,I'm sure we all
were paying strict attention!

I remember him teaching us the proper side of the horse to climb up on. It's the left side,if I remember correctly.

Thank you for starting a web site for fans of Rex Trailer, with 'Memories'!
Here are my memories:
Eating my cereal and sitting on the floor in my feetie-pajamas. Watching Rex and Goldrush, just wishing I could ride,or at least
pet him.
Was invited to the show, then I had the measles and could not go. (I cried)!
Watching my parents smile and them watching the show with us.
His video.

Dear Boomtown(memories):
Many years ago I was on your show. I believe it was more than once. I only wish I had photos of that.
Great memories are hard to find. Thanks. Glad to see Rex Trailer is still doing well.

Patty from Marion,MA sends in this greatshot taken at a show down her way.
She thinks it may have been taken around 1963 or '64.
The odd looking fellow on the left is Homer Corncastle. Various people
associated with the show would take turns playing this character who stood in
for Pablo whenever he could not make a personal appearance.
This information comes from Skip Boucher who was Production Co-ordinator
on Boomtown in the early '60's,(he thinks the guy might be him!!!).
TThese 2 photos were sent in by Steve Salem from Coral Springs,Florida.
Steve grew up in Worcester,MA.
That's him,at age 7or8 on the far left,reaching out to Rex at what he thinks
was White City in Shrewsbury,MA in photos dated 1963.
Way to go,Steve! Thanks for the contributions!!!
I was a Boomtown boy. Deputy in 1962. Pablo and Rex sat me on a donkey at 5 years old
and I had the saddle bag to give to Rex Trailer. What a thrill ! My parents were watching
me on tv. My father was so excited to see me, he fell off the bed to get to the tv! I was a
star for a week when I went back to school ! To this day I can still remember it!

I grew up in Mass. and New Hampshire. I remember Saturday and Sunday mornings sitting in front of
the TV to watch Boomtown. Sometimes, I would ride my rocking horse with Rex Trailer as he rode into
Boomtown. It was a great kids show and I loved watching it as a kid. I also remember when Rex
Trailer appeared at the County Fair in New Boston,New Hampshire. Great memories!

                   Who IS that masked man?!!!

               Why, he's The Lone Ranger !

This old newspaper photo is from the
Worcester Telegram and was sent  in from
my pal, Jeff Snow.  He got to see the 67
year old actor, Clayton Moore, in one of his
3 shows in Worcester in 1982.
He's actually wearing sunglasses,not his
mask.

Mr Moore was sued for wearing the Lone
Ranger mask at public appearances, by the
movie studios who wanted to update and
bring in a much younger actor.
In Court,Mr. Moore  claimed HE was The
Lone Ranger and had been the character
for(30?)years or so,and he had every right
to wear the mask.

Mr.Moore lost the case and was quite upset
but told the boys and girls that he could not
go against the ruling of the courts. After
all,he was The Lone Ranger  a Texas
Ranger. A law -enforcement officer!

Justice prevailed,as the movie was a total
flop and years later,he won his case on
appeal. He did it the right way,living up to
the character and now the courts agreed,
HE was truely The Lone Ranger!

added note: Mr Moore died years ago and
now there is a new comic book series out
and a new movie is planned to keep the
character going for a new generation.

Our most recent contribution comes
from Cynthia (Gamble) Gumpright.
Look at these 2 cuties!!!

"I lived next to Weymouth High School
and my dad took a neighborhood friend,
(Maureen Darcey-standing), and me to
see Rex in the school auditorium; it was
around 1964.
There were quite a number of kids there
and Rex did a few songs with SGT.Billy.
I was about 5 years old at the time and I recall the excitment generated by the
event and the crowds' reaction to the performers. After Rex's show,everyone had
a photo opportunity with him on stage with a western backdrop. It was a great
photo and I was glad I had the opportunity  to live the experience. The meeting
with Rex and the photo gave me that special "Boomtown Bonding" feeling when
I watched him on tv in the many following years.
It was the age of innocence which we'll probably never experience again."
