Who Remembers Gusty?????

[RangeHound]

Wow am I feeling old. My wife surprised me for my birthday by framing my Gusty drawing done by Don Woods (KTUL Weatherman). She told me she took it in to have it framed and no one had any idea what the drawing was or who Gusty was. Gee growing up getting a Gusty print from Don Woods and having your named announced on the air was a really big deal.

This morning my daughter walks in, looks at the drawing and says what is this?

So how many of you remember Don Woods and his Gusty Pal?

We had Foreman Scotty and 3d Danny.
And Dan True out of Amarillo, he wore a different outfit every day, some of them were kind of cool.

I remember Gusty AND I was on Uncle Zeb's when I was a kid.

That was a big deal to be on Uncle Zeb and then there was Mr. Zing and Tuffy before that. Those days are over.

There's a mannequin of Gusty at the KTUL Channel 8 booth at the Tulsa Fair. At least, I think that's what I had my picture taken with - I was too busy ogling Kim Jackson walking past in a sleeveless shirt and a tight pair of jeans. She's well-toned, and much taller than she looks on TV!

I was on an episode of Uncle Zeb when I was kid, and oh yes I remember Gusty.

Cool that you still have it. Grew up in B'ville and remember it well.

I remember Gusty...someone in my family has one. The big thing when I was a kid was "Creature Feature" with Sherman Oaks and Steve Pickle. I still remember them talking about the "Junebug Festival" in Junebug Oklahoma while Steve Pickle munched a sandwich full of live junebugs! So grosss!!! LOL. It was several years later that I learned "Jeanne Summers" (very popular KMOD personality) who did guest spots on Creature Feature 'grew up' to be Jeanne Tripplehorn (Actress - Water World with Kevin Costner). I read that Gary Busey also got his start in that little group.

Ah...those were the days.
