Spending my summers working at the Roy Rogers and Dale Evans Museum brought an unexpected pleasure. I got to personally hear the fans talk about how their lives were impacted by the two people I called Grandpa and Grandma. I loved those stories, and I soon realized that the relationship between my grandparents and their fans was one of family, a joyful extended family of millions.This uniquely inclusive book celebrates that mutual love and understanding. Inside these pages you will read letters sent to my grandparents, see candid photos, and experience memories and stories from my grandparents friends, coworkers, and other grandchildren, like me. You'll get to know Roy and Dale in memorable ways that could only be shared by those who knew them so well.My grandparents were the perfect combination of extraordinary and absolutely ordinary.
