[edit] Museum

I've tried to point up the importance of the museum, in his long term legacy. The "compatible" 3D image of the statue adds color to the page. It is worth the trouble to find those "funny glasses" you likely have. Many museum images are begining to surface on Wiki NASA and museum sites. It's not as odd a feature as it might appear, especially for school kids. Nativeborncal 21:03, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

Bob Nolan is the composer of "Tumbling Tumbleweeds," not Gene Autry. Perhaps this should be noted. - Wes Clark

[edit] Refs

Various sources on the web say that "That Silver-Haired Daddy of Mine" was recorded in 1931. For reference sake see: http://countrymusichalloffame.com/site/inductees.aspx?cid=100# and also: http://www.autrynationalcenter.org/about.php Not exactly crucial, but it would be good to have the correct date.Bob em 11:35, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Early Life - "Subway Sniper"???

The following comment about Autry in "Early Life" that references "subway sniper" is very vague and cryptic and needs a lot of ellaboration or some sort of reference. I have been unable to find any reference to what this is supposed to be talking about anywhere on the net. Is this talking about a movie or some real event? It is evident that the original poster made the assumption that what he was talking about would be general knowledge to the public however this is a mistaken assumption. this reference should be greatly detailed or omitted.

"After leaving high school in 1925, Autry worked as a telegrapher for the St. Louis–San Francisco Railway. It was at this time that he gained notoriety for his role as the so-called "subway sniper."" —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.83.186.187 (talk) 19:43, 2 March 2007 (UTC).
