I knew his name, but not that history. Thanks for sharing!



Um, I think that was before everyone here's day!

Same here: I knew the name but not the history. Thanks for sharing from me, too!

Tom Mix was my Dad's favorite hero, as a boy. When I hosted the surprise birthday party for my Dad, I had pics of Tom Mix and Tony printed up and put those up on the walls, as part of the decorations. Dad had a Tom Mix ring as a boy . . . made from the nail of a horse's shoe. lol.

AND Tom Mix was mentioned in an episode of M.A.S.H. The episode where Father Mulcahy goes to the Front with Radar to transport a patient back for surgery; and on the drive back, he has to save the life of the patient . Mulcahy had to do a tracheotomy, and used his "Tom Mix knife" for the cutting. Season 5, Episode 8, Mulcahy's War. Just saw it again, 2 nights ago.
