Wow, good thinking Jeff! I didn't consider the possibility of him being somehow related to Roy Rogers. Sure would make sense. Smokey was supposedly one of the original members of the Pioneers group.

Moved to Apple Valley and opened the Apple Valley Inn, and the Roy Rogers Museum, perhaps the Museum would know? Perhaps his Ballroom was at the Apple Valley Inn. Jeffery G.
