No kidding. Betcha I can guess what he wanted for Christmas.

I thought maybe it was some better looking boots.

This handsome young feller in this 60’s photo here with his sister and faithful furry companion thought he would grow up to take Chuck Conners place on the Rifleman but alas never made it further than Buckeye AZ.

"To close, there is a gentleman that keeps calling our office. His first inquiry was about the ranch where Lucas McCain and his son lived in the television western show – The Rifleman. The ranch was supposed to be located near the fictional town of North Fork, New Mexico. This gentleman has decided North Fork, New Mexico is close to Silver City. We keep saying that North Fork, New Mexico was a fictional town. The gentleman from another state continues believing it was near Silver City and wants us to share the secret with him… describing the location of North Fork, New Mexico. If you know something we don’t know about North Fork… please call our office at 538-3785."

No not me. I’ve been to North Fork with the Rifleman and his son Mark on several occasions but had to take a vow of secrecy to not divulge the location.

Looks like most all of us wanted to grow up to be cowboys. Not sure now what I'll be if and when I grow up.

I don't ever recall having a cowboy get-up, or really wanting to be a cowboy (Lucas McCain notwithstanding). When I was 7-8, I wanted to be an oceanographer; by the time I was 12, I had my sights set on being a lawyer (I got over that).

I had a red RR lantern just like that one & still have it.

I always wanted some longhorns for the grill of my Champion pedal car.

Not really sure what my Mom wanted me to grow up to be ... but it certainly did not end up being Dale Evans.
