A Birthday Tribute to William Boyd
Actor William Boyd, better known to many film fans as Hopalong Cassidy, was born in Ohio on June 5, 1895.
Boyd began in films in silent movie days, but beginning with the film HOP-A-LONG CASSIDY (1935), with rare exception he devoted the remainder of his career to playing "Hoppy" in movies, radio, and television.
I'm very grateful for the many wonderful hours of entertainment Boyd gave us, and I'm sure my fellow Western fans feel the same. Thanks for everything, Hoppy.

I'll second that, Laura. Thanks.
Beautifully said! I'll raise a toast to Hoppy tonight with a double bill with the Bar 20 lads.
Thank you both! Love celebrating William Boyd with fellow Hoppy fans. :) :)
