Who was that Masked Man?
Clayton Moore - 09/14/1914 - 12/28/1999

The Lone Ranger, one of our childhood memories, died of a heart attack on December 28, 1999. He was one of our true cowboy heroes, the man in the white hat riding off into the sunset. Moore started in the role in 1949 and, except for a brief hiatus in the early fifties, lived that role for the rest of his life. He may have starred in other features, but he was always and ultimately the Lone Ranger.

Thanks for the many memories Clayton Moore -- you will be in our hearts and minds forever.
