As TV\u2019s Lone Ranger in the 1950s, Clayton Moore was a hero both on and off the screen. With September being the centenary of his birth, Dawn Moore has been sharing the life and legacy of her father who passed away in 1999.<\/p>\n

\u201cI still get letters from policemen, firemen, and teachers who say they chose a career in service because of him,\u201d said Dawn from Los Angeles. \u201cHe not only acted out the Lone Ranger\u2019s Creed on TV, but lived it.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Creed, written by Fran Striker in 1933 for the original Lone Ranger radio show, was an ethical guide that emphasized friendship, respect, truth, God, country and, remarkably for the period, stewardship for the planet.<\/p>\n

Dawn will be recalling stories about her father at this year\u2019s Lone Pine Film Festival, Calif., held Oct. 10-12 (see www.lonepinefilmfestival.org<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The following week, one of her father\u2019s famous Lone Ranger black masks will be sold through the Profiles in History auction house.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople ask how I could sell it,\u201d noted Dawn. \u201cThe spirit of my father doesn\u2019t lie in the props he used for his job. Far more important to me are his fishing tackle and the old Coleman lamp we took on family camping trips.\u201d<\/p>\n

As a child, Dawn didn\u2019t even know her father had been the Lone Ranger until one day the pair went shopping for a television and the salesperson recognized his voice.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was 8 or 9, and wondered how this stranger knew my father,\u201d she recalled. \u201cThe show ended in 1957 so I never saw it growing up.\u00a0 And when we went out, no one recognized him because his character had always been masked.\u201d<\/p>\n

Both the mask and clothes worn by Moore were rather uncomfortable.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey filmed the Lone Ranger at the Iverson Ranch, near Los Angeles, where summer temperatures were over 100 degrees,\u201d explained Dawn. \u201cDad\u2019s costume was made out of heavy wool and was skintight. And Jay Silverheels who played Tonto wore an outfit of heavy suede. So these guys worked their tails off making the show!\u201d<\/p>\n

Dawn says she had no interest working in entertainment, preferring a business career in luxury retail (see www.mooreabout.com). But she learned a lot about the show and her dad when helping him prepare his 1998 autobiography, \u201cI Was That Masked Man.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI had a father who made a difference in the lives of others,\u201d she said. \u201cMany of his fans have told me they grew up not wanting to be the Lone Ranger, but to be Clayton Moore.\u201d<\/p>\n
