A Beloved Childhood Memory
I have had the great privilege of watching daily episodes of Sergeant Preston on "Grit TV" for the last couple of months. It was one of my all-time favorite TV shows when I was a kid in the '50's. Millions of other kids loved it too -- so much so that Milton Bradley issued a "Sergeant Preston" board game. My brother and I and the neighborhood kids used to play that game all the time. Fast-forward to today: Shortly after I started watching the show on "Grit", I went to eBay and found a copy of the game. It is now in my possession, and will be a cherished possession of mine for the rest of my life. As for the show itself: for those who might remember -- Dick Simmons WAS Sergeant Preston, in much the same way that Clayton Moore WAS the "Lone Ranger". In fact, the two made personal appearances in costume together from time to time. With his handsome good looks, pencil-thin mustache, and resonant voice ("On, You Huskies!!"), no one else could have pulled off that role the way that Dick Simmons did. He was awesome. But of course, the real star of the show was "King". Seeing this show for the first time in color (we only had black-and-white TV in the fifties), I was truly taken by how gorgeous and lovable this animal truly was. You can see it in every scene he is in -- a true scene stealer. It is no wonder that the kids of the 1950's loved him so much. I have read that once the series ended, King went on to a long and happy life in retirement. He earned it for sure.
