Thread Name: Obit: Sergeant Preston of the Yukon
Subject: RE: Obit: Sargent Preston of the Yukon
This Ohian loved Sgt. Preston. Richard Simmons made a dashing hero, even if he was gray!!! Ya' gotta' love the old black and white stuff....Somehow it allowed just a bit for the imagination.
Simmons only did the character on TV. On radio he was portrayed by Jay Michael, Paul Sutton, and Brace Beemer (briefly at the end in '55). BTW, on radio, Dewey Cole was the "voice" of Yukon King supplying the barks and growls.
