TOMBSTONE TRIBUTES |
Buffalo Bob
Smith
|
For those of us who ate lunch in front of an old black and white TV as youngsters, we undoubtedly never missed Buffalo Bob Smith in his cowboy garbed outfit, along with his pal "Howdy Doody." Westerns were king during the 1950s, and most of us wanted to be cowboys like Buffalo Bob and Howdy Doody character "Sheriff John." Buffalo Bob made a special guest appearance on Happy Days in the 1970s. He died at age 80 of cancer in Hendersonville, North Carolina. The Howdy Doody Show began in December 1947 and lasted 13 seasons. |
