Dear Mr. Horton - This is an early birthday wish from Tilton Powell's
children, Pamela and Dennis. We fondly remember the day you showed up at
the El Camino home. Our Dad knew a big television star! He would be
astonished by the computer world. We just wanted to let you know that
you have not been forgotten by the Powell family and that Dad used to
reminisce with great joy and humor about you growing up together. Best
wishes - Pamela

Dear Mr. Horton,

It was so wonderful to hear your introduction and "surf" your site!

I "cut my teeth" so to say, on the westerns my father loved. It was to some of my friends, very strange that as a girl I looked forward to watching westerns with my Dad.

I as a young girl, you became my first "actor/character" crush! (My Dad was a police officer and I saw a lot of Ward Bond in my Dad!) :)

I found this site during a sleepless night and just wanted to let you know that I love the memories of days spent playing Wagon Train with my brothers and friends. I even got an appaloosa and named it Buck. Even though she was a mare. I figured if Lassie could be a boy... she could be a Buck!

But mostly I loved that your acting, produced such a great quality show that in return, I hold dear some of the best memories I have of time shared with my Dad.

Thank you and may God bless you and yours,

Warmest regards,

Carrie in Wisconsin

Dear Mr. Horton,

I will always wish you the very best! As a young fan of yours in sixth grade in a very small town in NH, my girlfriend and I had a big crush on you. We could not wait to watch Wagon Train each week! I was happy to read that your health has improved. May I wish you an early happy birthday. My birthday is in July also. My best friend and I grew up and became teachers. I shall tell her I found your web site. Please know your performance along with Ward Bond’s provided many happy and exciting hours for us. (Television certainly is not what it used to be!) Take care. You will always be in our hearts!

Sincerely,

Lauren Zwolinski

PS May I also say you are just as handsome as ever.

hi,

I want to thank you Alicia for sponsoring Robert Horton's web site. I majored in film in college and have had a keen interest in it ever since.
More interesting of note however is my relationship to Mr. Robert Horton. Or distant relationship. My mother's maiden name is Horton. My maternal grandmother was Beatrice Horton. I was very close to Beatrice (Grandma Bea) her entire life. Beatrice was born in Kamas Utah I believe. Her father ran a grocery store in Kamas and then moved the family to Salt Lake when 'Beatrice was 4. The store located on 27th south and state was known as Hortons.
I believe that Robert Hornton's father and my great grandfather were brothers. I understand that Robert Horton's father was a successful life insurance salesman in California.
When my great grandfather passed away (i was about 9 years old at the time) i believe i met Robert Horton's father at his funeral. (40 years ago).
Anyway, I have since met some Horton's that have immigrated from California to Utah.
Anyway, just wanted to see if anything sounded a bell with Mr. Horton.
Hope he is doing well. I've always heard about "the actor" in the family but to my knowledge I've never met him.
I recently lived in San Francisco for 3 1/2 years. Mostly in the Marina District. Last November,my wife and I moved to London, England where we now reside.
Take Care,

Scott Lambson

I will only give you ONE guess why my nickname at school in the late ‘50’s was ‘Flint’.

We all watched it – thanks a million for all you gave us and we surely will never forget.

Dear Mr. Horton,

When I was a young lady of 7, my Aunt Betty and Uncle Bob Stephens took me to see a rodeo at the Ohio State fairgrounds and YOU were the guest star at that rodeo. My aunt and uncle always took me someplace special to celebrate my birthday, which is August 12th. My Aunt Betty, wishing to make it a more memorable evening for me, nudged me through the crowd and toward you so I could obtain your autograph on my copy of the rodeo program. I'm now 57 years old and found that program in a box of keepsakes this past weekend. My husband of 37 years and I are in the process of downsizing and I was sorting through things I'd kept for years. Seeing that program brought back so many memories. Even at that young age, when I attended the rodeo, I knew who you were. I was a big fan of the show Wagon Train. My whole family enjoyed watching it together. I just wanted to tell you that seeing you in person at that rodeo made a little girl's dream come true. Thank you for your many years of entertainment.

Sincerely,

Karen Danner

Dear Robert, I just spent the past hour on your website. I am amazed at what I read. I had a huge crush on you when I was around 10 years old, probably around '61 watching Wagon Train. I was a tough little tomboy, my most cherished possession ever was my Flint McCullough gun and holster set, with a six shooter, little gun in the back, bullets on the holster, holster tied around my leg, hat. Just loved it. Don't think I ever took it off back then. I've always wondered what happened to you and just thought I'd run a search on you. And there you were! Wow, you've had a terrific life and still going strong. Good for you! Only problem was that I always thought your real name was Clint McCullough, memory of a kid. I don't remember the Robert Horton part. Well, your website cleared up a lot of questions I had. Thanks for some great memories! Stay well.

G'Day,

As a little girl living in Perth, Australia during the 50's most my early
years were entertained by radio serials because television had not yet been
introduced into Western Australia. My brothers and I would look forward to
Saturday afternoon when we would go to the local theatre and enjoy the
latest cowboy movie. So you can imagine my joy as a six year old when my
Dad brought in a new black and white television. We couldn't believe our
luck - a theatre in our own living room. What great shows they were back
then. Have Gun Will Travel, Highway Patrol to name a few. But Wagon Train
is still the best and the one I remember most. As a kid under 10 I thought
your character Flint was the coolest guy around. It is amazing how
impressionable we are as children and I'm glad that characters such as Flint
reflected honest, reliable values which I am sure have stayed with me to
this day. Now, with the availability of the internet it is fantastic to be
able to learn that you are alive and well and I am able to thankyou for the
great enjoyment Wagon Train brought to both me and my family. I sign off
sending you Kind Regards, Good Health and Best Wishes from 'Downunder'.

Cheers
Sheryl Nigrone

Hi Robert,

I used to watch you in Wagon Train when I was just seven years old!!I must confess to having a huge crush on you then, which as I'm now fifty four is quite something to admit!! My husband drew my attention to your website, with which I am enthralled and still find that you're as charismatic as ever. I'm sorry to learn of your health scare and hope your out of the woods and enjoying life. We live on a farm and I breed and break in horses, I hate parting with them so we've far too many, I guess I could have my own wagon train now!

As I'm sure you know ,the immense pleasure you've given to so many thousands of people over the years and of course those memories are etched into the minds of us all, your talent and legacy will live on forever. I so hope you remain in robust health and enjoy life to the hilt.

One's cup should always be half full!!.

Kindest Regards,

Jane Lightburn Francis.

Dear Mr Horton,

You were my only celebrity "crush" when I was in junior high and never watched much TV, but never missed a Wagon Train. It's been a long time, but I just wanted you to know that I've not forgotten you, and still appreciate that wonderful western series. Just recently I found your web page and learned of your health scare. I'm glad there was a happy outcome, and I wish you many years of good health in future.

Brenda Clouse, of Madera, CA

Dear Mr Horton, I typed in your name today and discovered this website. I have always remembered you from watching Wagon Train as an 11 year old. I was totally besotted with 'Flint' and was always very upset if you weren't in that weeks episode!

It was great to hear your message online, but sorry to read that you have been unwell.

I am now a grandmother of seven grandchildren and have told them of my younger days when I named my tortoise Flint and my guinea pig McCoulough! It would be wonderful to see some of Wagon Trains episodes again. I have loved Cowboy films ever since those days.

I am pleased to be able to send you a message to thank you for some great memories.

Good luck in the future.

Very best wishes

Margaret Jordan (England)

Dear Mr. Horton: I am a BIG FAN of yours, especially for the role of Flint McCullough in "Wagon Train". Most mornings, I wake up around 4 AM and watch tapes of my favorite shows from the past---including "Rawhide", "Gunsmoke", "Maverick", "Cheyenne", "High Chapparal", "Bonanza", and of course "Wagon Train". I just finished watching the episode about John Cameron with Carolyn Jones in it. Then, I thought that I would see if you had a website, and here it is. I live in Upstate New York, near Syracuse, and will be 60 years old this July. In my opinion, the acting on TV shows in the 1950's and 60's was better than it it today, and the shows are still worth watching. As you can tell from my list, Westerns are among my favorites. Ward Bond was a great veteran actor, who appeared in many classics, including "The Quiet Man" with John Wayne. It is one of my favorite movies. What was it like to work with him?

Anyway, I am glad that I searched for your website and found it. Best of luck and God bless. Mitch Pezdek, Jr.

Dear Mr. Horton:

I have been a sincere fan of yours since the days of “Wagon Train” when I was in junior high school and had a huge crush on you for years. I just turned 64 years old a couple of weeks ago and will be retiring from the school district I have been employed by for 32 years on June 30, 2008

I am hoping to be able to see you at a personal appearance in the future. I will check in on your website to check for your schedule; it would be a great thrill for me to be able to see you in person.

This is the first time in my life that I have sent fan mail to anyone. I hope this finds you happy and in good health; may God continue to bless you and your loved ones.

Most respectfully,

Shirley Lyttleton

Cincinnati, Ohio



Hello Mr Horton, I sincerely do hope that you are well and that you do get to read this little note. I feel fortunate to have found this site and to have heard your very caring message. My first memories of you in Wagon Train are still clear to me, I was around nine at the time. Fortunately my mum knew how important it was to me that I didn't miss an episode and allowed me to stay up to watch. ( Remember when we didn't have video ? ) I read everything that I could find about you. I had your pictures on my wall, along with Cliff Richard, Bought any magazine with an article and glossy books with your story in. I know I still have some, though I couldn't immediately lay my hands on them I know they are around. I have often been to California and wondered if it might have been possible to find you. Well what I really would like to say is thank you so much. Memories of you then are among some of my most consistent and happy memories. I had a brilliant loved and loving childhood and and amongst my experiences I can still remember now how exciting every episode seemed and how I looked forward to Monday evenings and couldn't wait to get to school the next day to tell all my friends. I can still see it all in my minds eye, that lovely horse you rode, the jackets you wore. ( I have just realised I have one similar that I bought in San Diego ) Oh and all the other characters and storylines that made Wagon Train so different and in a way such a special part of a new stage of my growing up. Of course I watched Shanendoah and other things that you appeared in and enjoyed everything I saw but, well Wagon Train rolled through such a large space of my childhood, about twenty percent or more I guess that it left the longest most lasting mark for me and how happy am I that it did. Well, haven't I rambled on? I am so sorry, I haven't said anything you didn't already know. Thank you again, from what I have seen and read it seems you have been very happy and done many successful and fulfilling things. How wonderful for you. My best possible loving wishes to you and your family. Brenda xx

Dear Mr. Horton Thank you for giving us this opportunity to tell you how much you mean to us. I lived for Wagon Train when I was a child. You were my first true love. I can never see an App with a blanket without thinking of you. I am glad you have had a good life. Someone sent me a remember the 50's by email today and on it was a picture of you and Ward Bond. I cried when he died. I thought, the internet is a powerful thing let me try and see if I could find a web site in your name. I was amazed at what I found. What a wonderful way to travel back in time and be a child again. I guess turning 60 this year makes you want to revisit the innocent days. Your web site is wonderful. Hearing your voice, and truly it hasn't changed that much, just sent chills thru me. Thank you again for all the fond memories. Children these days do not have what we had. You were a blessing to me and many people. May God Bless you and your wife for all the joy you have given millions of people. Sincerely Diane Beuthe, Florida
______________________________________________ Dear Robert, I do hope you are in better health now and will continue to be so. I was looking through some of the books I had as a child/teenager and there (in perfect condition!) were my two copies of Wagon train annuals which brought back many happy memories, as you were my absolute heartthrob! I also have a brooch and necklace which were given to me at the time. I only wish that I had been able to come to the London Palladium when you appeared there, but at least I was able to watch you on black/white television. I realise that you must still get many of these requests but would it be possible for you to send me a signed photograph which would really complete my set of memories. God Bless you and thank you for the many happy hours of viewing you have given to so many people. Kindest Regards Judith Nunnglenook, Essex England.

_______________________________________________ hello alicia as a youngster growing up in the early fifties in england wagon train was the first show we used watch as we gathered round our small black and white tv robert horton became my favourite actor.   it is wonderful to find your web site about robert.   i hope he is keeping well and please pass on my best wishes roy gasby edgbaston birmingham   england _______________________________________________ I watched two of your appearances on the "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" DVD ... Season 1. I'm just now watching ... "A bottle of wine".... I had to Goggle you to get more of your background and found your fan site. Many thanks for the pleasure you have given me in your acting. You just pull me into the scene ... and, yet, you never seem to be "acting". Wonderful and Marvelous! Regards Gary Fox Princeton Junction, NJ _______________________________________________ Wow, am I glad I found your website.   Wagon Train and seeing "Flint" was my sole reason for running home from school quickly every day back in the early 60's. My Mom surprised me one day when she bought me a tablet that had your color photo on the cover. It was an 8 x 10 photo of you as "Flint" with your cowboy hat on and your "Flint" outfit. The only background on the photo was a turquiose blueish background which leads me to believe it was a 'posed' photo at a photography studio.    It was a close up photo and you were sitting down. Boy if only I still had that photo. I checked all your photos in your website and did not see that particular photo. It has always bothered me & I have regretted it for years, when I lost that picture. I sure wish I could find that exact one.   I had that photo framed in an 8 x 10 frame for years and over time, it got lost.   Hopefully one day it will appear in your website. I see no new photos have been added for 2007 and hopefully that will show up as one of them. I believe it was an autographed photo too.    The autographed photos that can purchase - are they in color or are they in black and white as shown?? It's nice to know that you read your emails. That is rare esp. with someone famous. Just wanted you to know that you were a part of our wonderful childhood memories................I always tell people how fortunate my husband and I are that we were born in the early 50's. How wonderful that you will be celebrating your 48th wedding anniversary in 2008. My husband and I (we are highschool sweethearts) are catching up to you & your wife - we'll be celebrating our 36th anniversary this year. QUESTION: Is there anything you can do to bring back the Wagon Train re-runs that you were in on the TV station "TV LAND". We just got done watching all the old I LOVE LUCY series that they showed the last part of 2007. Right now they are running the Beverly Hillbillie series. Gunsmoke and Bonanza still play and our hope and wishes are that Wagon Train will be a part of that station soon.   My husband and I watch old westerns whenever we get the chance. Take care and it was nice writing ya. Diane

Dear Mr. Horton,

Happy Holidays to you and Mrs. Horton. I have to tell you what an amazing thing the internet is to allow a fan like me to send greetings to you and best wishes. Last night I was pleased to catch an airing of “The Green Slime” which brings back fond memories of when my brother and I were kids, glued in terror as the green creatures made their way through the Space Command. Embarrassingly enough I have to say I still jumped and yelped as you fought to stay away from their electrifying tentacles. You were always such a dashing hero. Thanks to the internet I was able to find your fan website to say hello.

My name is Wendy, age 35, and as you can see below my maiden name is Horton. I am not exactly sure if you are any relation but it is always thrilling to see the family name flashed on the big screen! My grandfather Ira Robert Horton Sr. lives in Florida and is about to turn 92 and still goes ballroom dancing 5 to 6 nights a week. They hail from Williamson, New York but it was said that one of three Horton brothers headed out West. So there is always a possibility….?

My husband is finishing out his last year in the Navy which brought us here to Washington from Norfolk, VA where we will be headed for the holidays.

I do hope this message finds you healthy and happy and basking in the glow of your many fans that admire you. Below I have attached a photo of my grandfather and my father Ira Robert Horton Jr. I can’t tell you what a thrill it would be to find out if there were any distant family connections! Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Wendy Horton-Goings

Thanks to the internet I was able to find your fan website to say hello.

My name is Wendy, age 35, and as you can see below my maiden name is Horton. I am not exactly sure if you are any relation but it is always thrilling to see the family name flashed on the big screen! My grandfather Ira Robert Horton Sr. lives in Florida and is about to turn 92 and still goes ballroom dancing 5 to 6 nights a week. They hail from Williamson, New York but it was said that one of three Horton brothers headed out West. So there is always a possibility….?

My husband is finishing out his last year in the Navy which brought us here to Washington from Norfolk, VA where we will be headed for the holidays.

I do hope this message finds you healthy and happy and basking in the glow of your many fans that admire you. Below I have attached a photo of my grandfather and my father Ira Robert Horton Jr. I can’t tell you what a thrill it would be to find out if there were any distant family connections! Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

__________________________________________ Dear Robert: I was born in the early 1950s and enjoyed Wagon Train, and more specifically, your role of Flint. More importantly, I was impressed by A Man Called Shanendoah. The theme song has been wandering in my mind for the past 40 years or so, and today, I was reading a book that had the lyrics to Shandendoah to it. Taking a chance, I googled "A Man Called Shandendoah, and was pleasantly and tearfully surprised to hear the theme song being song on your website. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!. Part of me has always "roamed in search of home", and I was happy to realized that the actual lyrics had remained with me as time has slipped by. God bless you!

I was just curious if you might have a recollection of Mr. Leonard as an extra or a character actor in any of your films?

Dear Robert;

My name is Roberta and I have been a fan for a very long time. Since Wagon Train to be precise. I just wanted to let you know how much I have appreciated your work and to let you know that at least one Canadian fan still remembers. If you ever get a chance to visit Calgary I would be there in a heart beat with bells on, in the figurative sense. Now that I have internet access I can keep up with my favorite wagon scout.

Sincerly,

Roberta Nickle

Dear Mr. Horton:

Hope you are doing all right....just saw an episode of Alfred Hitchcock Presents that you guest starred in..and wondered how you were doing....then found this great site devoted to your career...our family saw you in Oklahoma at the St. Louis Muny with your wife back in I believe in 1965 or thereabouts....what a wonderful performance you gave and of course always remembered you from Wagon Train, which we faithfully watched when I was growing up....

Thanks again for the wonderful website and hope you continue in good health.. By the way, the Hitchcock episode was from 1958 with Besty Von Furstenberg and I believe was called the Disappearing Trick or Act?? Hope Wagon Train comes out eventually in Complete Series Form on DVD..

Would enjoy hearing from you if you have time

Sincerly

Dave Morse

Hi Mr. Horton,

I really enjoy your website. I wrote you a letter a few months ago, but I am not sure if you got it or not. So I just wanted to make this short and tell you what a fine actor and person you are. I watch Wagon Train dvds quite a bit -- especially the ones that feature you as Flint. I have been living on a timebomb concerning my health for awhile and had a stroke last month. But watching the dvds helps me relax. You mean a lot to me as an actor -- but not only that -- as a person also. I just wanted to let you know how much your dvds mean to someone even in this year -- as we all get older. Thank you so very much for doing Wagon Train and the adventures you were involved in. You are very much loved.

Charlotte

Hi,

I have just visited your website and at the age of 61, I can picture myself sitting at home with my departed parents watching you in Wagon Train, It was viewed on a Monday here in the United Kingdom and you made it the highlight of my day. Hope you are well, stay safe.

A Vivid old fan,

Keith Gibbs.

Dear Mr. Horton,

Imagine my delight in finding a web site devoted to your career – and in discovering that you (as am I) a big fan of Errol Flynn, particularly in the film “Uncertain Glory.” In fact, you remind me of him quite a bit. You both have that certain “something” that makes for great entertainment.

Hope you do get to come to Virginia one day. It’s a beautiful state, and my friends Don and Harold Reid (formerly of the Statler Brothers) and I would love to see you here. Till then, take care….and thanks for all the entertainment.

Charles

Dear Robert Horton,

I watched you every Saturday on "Wagon Train" and was taken with your good looks and natural acting ability. Yes, I was a kid but still loved the hero type in the western surroundings. When I was a teenage I saw you on stage, summer stock in Ohio, in "Oklahoma". It was very memorable to see you live and sing for "me". Thanks for all of the wonderful movies and the "Flint" role. Later in life I moved to the West and always thought of the show and how people traveled by wagons and the danger that they endured.

Best Wishes,

Christa

What a very nice site. I have visited often but have never left a message and would like to do so now. I am so happy to see that there are sites such as this dedicated to the wonderful screen heroes that we grew up with such as Mr. Horton. I am also happy that the Goodlife network has the old Warner Westerns on. I have emailed requesting Wagon Train which they do not have but I am ever hopeful. I am so happy that Mr. Horton is doing better and I will include him in my prayers.

Thank you again for this lovely site. God bless you all.

Mr. Horton,

I just want to say “Thank you” for making my childhood enjoyable :)

I can remember watching EVERY episode of Wagon Train just so I could
watch you. I was in love! And I was only 7yrs old! I can remember
begging my mom and dad for the “Flint McCullough cap pistol” for my
birthday gift. Now you must know, I was a young girl then so my parents
thought I was Nuts but I indeed got that cap pistol and enjoyed it for
a long time pretending you were with me on my adventures. So many
memories and you were so very much a part of them. Thanks again for
making ‘Flint’ come alive and letting a little girl enjoy being a
Tomboy.... :)

Your name may be Robert but you will always be ‘Flint’ to me .........

If you are ever close to Dulles airport (Sterling, VA) it would be a
honor to meet you. I work there, at the airport, as a Program Analyst.

Did you ever meet my cousin, Jean Seberg, while working in Hollywood?
She was also an inspiration for me in my younger years and I watched
every movie she made (esp. Paint your Wagon)

*hugs and kisses*

Jan Thomas

Dear Robert,

I was born in '49, and by the time I reached my 10th birthday, like a lot of my peers, I was hooked on TV Westerns. I wanted to wear buckskins, and be a cowboy in the worst way. I'm 58 years old now, and never did make it out West. I'm a New Yorker (upstate) born & bred. Married, had kids - and here I stayed. But the cowboy in me will never die until I do.

Wagon Train was one of my favorites. I'd dream of riding your Appaloosa, and riding scout for Ward Bond. Obviously, I just liked your character a whole lot. Thanks to the internet, I've been able to reach out in some small way, to say hello to you, and to thank you for all those wonderful years of enriching my childhood. God Bless, Happy Belated Birthday - and stay healthy!

Your friend, and life long fan...

Steve Hall

Dear Mr Horton, I have long been an admirer of you, and used to avidly watch "Wagon train" when I was a boy. It was a first class series, with first class actors, and I feel it is such a shame, that the western genre is no longer shown on tv, but you will always be remembered by my generation, and although I am English and live in England, you and your ilk are fondly regarded and a great part of English television. My regards to your wife also, and may happiness always ride your range.

Yours faithfully

Joe Topley (England)

I've just viewed my first introduction to Mr. Horton's work via a DVD of the Alfred Hitchcock television show and he had a way of capturing my attention instantly.

I'm happy to read that he is still with us.

If I could get a question to him I find myself wondering "After so much life and so many experiences, both the good and the bad, how big a role did faith (yes God faith) play in your life?" I see in his eyes something that transcends the years, a mischievous spark of confidence that seems to come from more than good looks and a career that is going well, I hope that he would be willing to share a little insight?

Thanks so much,

David V. Bowyer

Hello,

I was born in the early 1950's. I watched Robert Horton regularly in
"Wagon Train." In fact, I would say that his character, Flint McCullough,
was my first 'hero.' In 1976, I had the pleasure of seeing him "live" in a
fine production of "The Rainmaker" at the Barn Dinner Theatre in St. Louis.
It was especially exciting to see him play Starbuck in that show because I
knew he had played him in the original Broadway production of the musical
version of the play, "110 in the Shade." Then in 1978, I saw him again
when he came to St. Louis to play Oscar in "The Odd Couple" at the
Plantation Dinner Theatre. After both performances, he graciously signed
my program. After the "The Odd Couple," he looked at my ballpoint and
said, "That's not a good pen, I'll get a better one." He then went to his
dressing room and got a felt tip to sign the program cover with. I still
have both programs in my collection. I regret that I missed his
performance in "Kismet" at the St. Louis Municiple (Muny) Theatre in the
late 1960's. I was also disappointed when he left "Wagon Train," but I
really enjoyed my two personal encounters with him. I wish he was still
performing, but he's had a marvelous career. Best wishes!

My husband and I visited the Rex Allen Museum in Willcox, AZ two weeks ago and I was thrilled to see Robert Horton plans to attend Rex Allen Days this coming October. I told the museum curator, "time was, when I would have given my right arm to ride in a wagon train with Robert Horton!" I have been a fan forever, and I wouldn't miss this opportunity to see him for the world. Only a little more than a month to go ... and I'm already excited! What a thrill this will be.

Thanks,

To Dear Mr Robert Horton

The phrase "Horse Opera" came up in the crossword I have just completed and of course the answer was "Western". That got me thinking of the oh so many happy hours I spent in my teens watching 'Wagon Train' (and other Westerns too but we won't talk about those!) I could not get near enough our small TV screen for a better view of you, much to my Father's disgust, and I never missed a show. How I remember so well an episode where you had been shot in the shoulder by a Red Indian's arrow, which had to be pushed through your shoulder to get it out - do you remember that one? I was enthralled as ever in the show and after it ended I walked into the kitchen and promptly fainted into the arms of my Mother. I had lived the moment, and what you were going through, all too well and iit s one of the very rare times in my 63 years that I have actually fainted.

I am so amazed at your wonderful website and so pleased to have found it. I wish you continued good health after your recent diagnosis and treatment and thank you so much for the marvellous memories of a truly handsome man who always behaved with dignity, truth and humour on the screen and, I am very sure, off the screen too.

With much love and thanks,

Marion Boreham, Milton Keynes, England

Dear Mr. Horton. .. Robert. BOB!

I wonder if you remember one night in Jackson , MS, about 46 years ago.

I had the pleasure of seeing you at the state fair in 1961 or 1962. I was 13 or 14 years old, and my older sister took me and a friend to see our favorite cowboy! When you and your horse came galloping out into the arena, I thought I would absolutely die! I held back tears as you rode around waving at the crowd. You were magnificent!!

My sister worked as a reservationist for Delta, and ‘knew people’, and we were actually allowed to board your plane about midnight that night. You and your wife were gracious enough to talk to us three idiots and give us an autograph. I died again!!

I’m 58 now and have learned to appreciate the wonderful things in life, and I want to let those who’ve given us pleasure over the years know just how much y’all meant to us. Thanks so much for your wonderful performances and especially for that night!

Hello Alicia,

I too an a fan, particularly since I came across a set of( I am sorry to say) bootlegged dvds of A Man Called Shenandoah. It was one of my favorite shows when I was a kid. What a great singing voice! He had talents so missing in today's "stars". I wish we could get that show commercially released on dvd. Any chance? Who to write??? Anyway, I am ordering an autographed picture and the "Shenandoah" CD. Your website is on my favorites and I will log on regularly.

For Mr. Horton I would like to say that I am so glad he is still with us and I wish him all the best and God's blessings. Did he have any classic Jaguars in his car collection?
Sincerely,
Scott Harrison

Dear Robert,

My name is Rita and when I was 12 years old I had a big crush on you, in fact I carried your photo with me everywhere I went, my mom thought I was mad. I remember Wagon Train was on every Monday night here in England and I never missed an episode, you weren't just a character on the tv to me your real personality always came through and I just knew you were a lovely person.

I am sorry to hear that you have not been well and I hope you will be feeling better real soon.

I am 60 years old now and I just wanted you to know that I have never forgotten you and I wanted to thank you for making a 12 year old girl very happy.

All my love to you.

Rita.

Dear Mr. Horton,

Every now and then, as the years go by, I wonder what has happened to my very "gifted" and handsome actors who kept me company, many a night, via the television. The internet has proven to be a wonderful tool to research!!

What an absolute delight to be able to let you know how much I enjoyed you on "WAGON TRAIN"! The years where "westerns" reigned on television were my favorite......"SUGARFOOT", "BONANZA", "CHEYENNE", "GUNSMOKE", "HAVE GUN WILL TRAVEL", etc....... I was a teenager, full of "western fantasies" about all of you........now I am 57, and truly want to know what everyones' acting "gigs" are.

You must have so many great memories....what an incredible life as an actor, you've led!!

Please accept my best wishes for your continued success with your career, amazing marriage, and your health.

Sincerely,

Janice Wildemore

Dear Mr. Horton,

I saw you last night in a 1958 Alfred Hitchcock show co-starring with Betsy von Furstenburg. It is amazing how fast time goes by. You played an insurance investigator and took a bribe. What a fun show. There are no good shows on television anymore.

I'm glad you and your wife are doing well. You are still a very handsome man.

Patty K.

Dear Mr. Horton,

Reading the paper this morning I saw that it was your birthday today. A very fond memory of having had the experience of working at Oakdale theatre in Wallingford Connecticut when you and your lovely wife were doing Brigadoon came rushing back to me. That was such a magical performance on both of your parts and I was so impressed with how genuine and personable you both were. I was working as an apprentice at the theatre that summer and will never forget meeting the two of you. I am so very happy to hear that you are still together after all these years because I knew right away what a special couple you were.

Happy Birthday and God Bless both of you.

Dear Mr. Horton,

Thanks goes to Alicia Williams for her great web site about you. I was so happy to read about all the accomplishments and dreams you have achieved in your life. You truly deserve all of them,. I never wrote to a movie star before. So, with shaking hands and a pounding heart, I send this message to you.

I was 10yrs old when Wagon Train came on TV. Flint McCullough was my handsome hero. When you left the show, you took with you the magic only you could make, and I cried. There has never been, nor will there ever be, one as Beautiful as you. You are truly a one of a kind man.

Recently, I have purchased many Wagon Train stories, starring you. My favorite is the Sister Rita Story. The story tells of the power of one's beliefs and thoughts of love, never fulfilled, yet never forgotten. Not only did you deliver your lines perfectly, your body language and facial expressions were unforgettable, beautiful.

Thank goodness you didn't become a doctor, but instead, like the poem by Robert Frost, took the road "less traveled by. And that has made all the difference" in my life, as well as in the lives of your many hundreds of fans, here and around the world. Thank YOU, Mr. Horton for sharing a bit of yourself with me.

Happy Birthday to you. May you enjoy many more in good health.

You will always remain in my mind and heart forever.

With Love, your fan Toni from New Jersey

Dear Mr. Horton,

My name is Flint Bloedow and I was named after your character on Wagon Train. Flint has been the source of many conversations in my brief life which I have enjoyed greatly telling the story of how I was named. My brother proposed the name to my mother when I was born in 1961; well she listened and it was written on the birth certificate. I feel very honored to be named after someone of your and Flint ’s stature. I was just asked about my name again so I wanted to show this young person who I was named after so I began searching the web and I found this page. I was to young to remember the show but I had seen a couple of shows and I feel I had to lived up to the qualities of Flint . I entered the Air Force, attended Ranger School , achieved the highest enlisted rank in the Air Force and I continue to serve this great nation as a civil servant. If at all possible, I’d like to order a autographed picture of you so I may proudly display in my office.

Forever a Fan,

Respectfully,

Flint Bloedow

Good'ay, Chris Smith here.

I was reminiscing with regards to "Wagon train" as a kid & remembered this kind of idol I had of who I could be. Cliff Robertson, Rowdy Yates (Clint) or the first & original "Man on the trail"......... Rob Horton.

His presence & delivery will live with me forever. Thanks Bob & good to know he's not only around, but apparently keeping good.

Thanks Mr. Horton for those great memories!!!!

Best Wishes,

Sorry we had to miss seeing you in VA in March, but just happy to hear you're doing well now. Maybe one day I can finally meet you after all these yrs & all that you have meant to me personally in my life. Your SC friend, Sharon Schrader

Dear Alicia,

I must admit to being one of the oldies who actually remember Robert Horton from "Wagon Train." I loved the chemistry between the actors on the program which is one of the main reasons for watching a show. I particularly enjoyed the episodes with Flint but really everyone on the show was so magnificent that each complimented the other in a way we rarely see on television or movies.

After reading the material on this website, Robert is a true Renaissance man and a true treasure. Robert's note about illness was a bit troubling but hopefully he is one the mend. I am not sure if you are the right person, but please send him my heartfelt wishes for continued good health.

And of course, thank you for maintaining what must surely be a labor of love.

Yours very sincerely,

Richard Jessen

HI ALICIA,

I WATCH ROBERT ON ALFRED HITCHCOCK RERUNS AT 6:30AM IN THE MORNING BEFORE I GO TO WORK.

IT REALLY PUTS ME A WONDERFUL MOOD.

I FELL IN LOVE WITH FLINT WHEN I WAS A LITTLE GIRL AND I STILL GET SUCH A FEELING LOOKING AT HIM.

I AM DIVORCED AND I WAS NOT SURE IF I WANTED TO DATE ANYMORE.

AFTER WATCHING ROBERT AND READING THE WONDERFUL LETTERS FROM HIS ADMIRERS, I THINK THAT I MAY DATE AGAIN AND MAYBE TRY TO FIND SOMEONE LIKE FLINT.

IT IS SO NICE TO HEAR ROBERT IS SUCH A NICE MAN AND HAS A GOOD MARRIAGE.

I LOVE MARILYN AND I ADMIRE HER FOR MAKING ROBERT SO HAPPY.

IF YOU SPEAK TO ROBERT, PLEASE LET HIM KNOW THAT MY TEACHER IN AJ DEMAREST JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL WAS A FRIEND OF HIS. HIS NAME IS ROBERT COLEMAN. HE TAUGHT MATH AND WE ALL LOVED HIM.

PLEASE GIVE MY LOVE TO ROBERT AND MARILYN.

THEY REALLY ARE AN INSPIRATION TO ME.

Dear Mr. Horton, I have the honor of being a Home Health care provider For one of your biggest fans, She said she has known you for 67 years.. Although she has not seen you since you both were 15 years old. Except in movies, and on T.V. She attended Dorsey High in L.A. California, She was Blond, with blue eyes. Her name was Marvyl Wehling. I believe she said you walked her home a few times from work. she worked at a Cafe' on Wilshire Blvd. She said she got angry at you because you were supposed to pick her up from work and you didn't show and she had to walk home, and it was 2 hrs. that it took to get there.. she wanted me to get in touch with you just to see if you remember her. She is now living in Springdale, Arkansas with her Daughter. Please if you can, send just a short note to me so I can tell her you do or do not remember her. Thank you. Patsy Ruth

Hello Mr. Horton, I found your website and that prompted me to write. I am, according to my mother, your 3rd cousin. My mother is Barbara Horton who's mother and father were Barbara and Jack Horton. According to my mother, Jack was your 1st cousin.

I just wanted you to know that down through the generations we still enjoy your work and get a thrill knowing that we are related to you no matter how distant. Also to let you know that the strong Horton jaw has survived through the generations as well. :) I have also impressed fellow swooning workers with my relation to the "Wagon Train" star. My family also owns the movie "Green Slime" and since I am a 60's sci-fi fan we have watched it numerous times. In fact we are thinking of having a sci-fi movie birthday party for my 11 year daughter Faith and will certainly show your movie as the highlight. Hope all is well with you and your family and I wish you the best,

your 3rd cousin Melinda Leiva

Mr. Horton;
My name is Joe Houston and I live in Atlanta, Georgia. Back around 1974 I acted in a play with you and your wife at Chipola Jr. College in Marianna, Florida. It was either "The Music Man" or "Guys and Dolls" I think. Larry Alford was the Director and I was around 13 at that time. I often think back on those days in Marianna and the movie stars I met performing at Chipola Jr. College in Marianna. I remember holding up a sign at the local Holiday Inn welcoming you and your wife to Marianna after your flight into Panama City, Florida. Your incredible career has certainly taken you in all directions. Do you happen to remember the 2 weeks you spent in Marianna, Fl ??

I hope you and your family are well.

Joe Houston

Dear Robert Horton,

You have a wonderful voice. I have always loved the song Shanendoah. My son is in Hollywood taking acting classes, and working toward a career as an actor. He too has a great voice, stage presence, and potential. I just wanted you to know that you had a relative with love of the stage and film as well. His name is Jeremy Horton.

God Bless you and your wife. Congratulations on your anniversary. My wife and I just celebrated our 30th.

Good afternoon,

I was watching the Alfred Hitchcock episode "Crack of "Doom" as others television and movies that you starred in.

You look just as handsome now as you did then. You have a lucky wife!

I hope that you have a Happy Birthday next month and mine is on the 19th of July,1956.

Your fan,

Jennifer Carson
