The old TV program "Sgt Preston of the Yukon" is back on TV. I liked the show when I was a kid and hadn't seen it since that time so I tuned in for an episode the other day. Two things really surprised me. First, the series was filmed in color, when there were no color TVs. But what stood out the most was the horsemanship of the actor who played Sgt Preston, Richard Simmons. He really rode quite well with all the marks of a trained and thoughtful horseman- maybe the best I've seen from Hollywood, judging by the horse's reactions. The Mounties should be well pleased to have him represent their image on horseback. Check it out if you have the opportunity.
Well, King, this case is closed.
On, you huskies
