When I saw Tioga Kid, it was in a viewing room at one of the western conventions. Jennifer Holt had just passed away and I felt as if I had lost a sister rather than just a close friend. In the last scene, Roscoe Ates suggests Eddie Dean and Jennifer join up to run the ranch and Eddie responds in true cowboy hero fashion with the song "Ain't No Girl Got A Brand on Me." As Eddie and Roscoe mount their horses and ride away, Jenny folds her arms and leans back against the front porch post with that familiar smile. The last shot shows her waving to Eddie. I thought if I had been the producer of a TV newscast which gave the obits to former movie stars, I would have included that shot as the newscaster read the obit. Even today, it brings a lump to the throat of this old Front Row Kid. Love ya Scorpio.
