Postage stamp honoring Clayton Moore to be released in August 2009

~ This is actually quite interesting to me personally, since I was family friends with Mr. Moore's cousin, Mrs. Arthur Hyer. *Trivia* Clayton Moore was close frineds with actor Rand Brooks- best known for the role of Charles Hamilton in Gone With the Wind. Also- Mr. Moore is the only person to be honored with two stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for the protrayal of the same character: "The Lone Ranger" on radio and on television.

From AMERICAN PROFILE (APRIL 5, 2009): Moore, who died in 1999 at age 85 of a heart attack, was a trapeze artist in the 1934 Chicago World's Fair and a movie stuntman. He appeared in bit movie parts from the late 1930s until he saddled up in 1949 for his most famous role, the "Hi-ho, Silver!" masked man. He is survived by an adopted daughter, Dawn, who is thrilled to announce the August issue of a U.S. postage stamp commemorating the Lone Ranger and Silver. "I know he would be incredibly proud," she says.
