* My First Meetin' *
I have LOVED *Roy Rogers & Dale Evans*, all of my
Life!! I adopted the entire *Rogers Family*, as my second family before I was 6 years old. I meet them in Houston, Texas;
March 1964. The Lord, he made it all possible! The rodeo tickets were given to us after numerous prayers! I finally ask the
Lord to please lead me to their dressing room, as the ushers kept stopping me, but I finally made it! Dale came out first,
dressed in a full length mink coat and her Apple Valley, California suit. She signed everything and anything, people handed
her. Once, a little boy had a broken leg and Dale said; "My goodness!! What happened to you," all the while she was getting
down on her knee and signin' his cast. She came up to me and asked if their was something she could do for me. Dale signed
all of my books, and we talked about Robin, Debbie and Sandy. I told Dale, I didn't understand why they had so much sorrow
and heartaches; that they were always giving so much of themselves to others. Dale said, "Shirley, don't you ever question
the Lord!! He wouldn't place any more burden on us than we could bare." Dale was talking and pointing with that index finger
of hers. "I got the message and never forgot it either!" She quoted the verse, from the Bible. I remembered hearin' and reading
it. I told her I remember reading that, and "I will never say those words again!" I never have. Dale was the most "gracious
lady!"
She would say, "I'm am what I am and that's all," just a gal from Texas.
