In this episode we have a nice chat with Julie Rodgers Pomilia, the author of the first book ever by a Roy Rogers and Dale Evans family member to chronicle the lives of the "Royal Western Couple," from the distinctive perspective of being their grandchild.

We knew them as our heroes, but she knew them as simply, Grandma and Grandpa. Having lived through the 50’s and 60’s at the height of their popularity, and on into these current times when few people under the age of 50 remember them more as historic figures that had a great impact on American culture.

They were the Brad and Angelina of the 50’s, before it was in vogue. Being the youngest daughter of Dale Evans’ only biological son, Julie shares from personal experience, the love and acceptance her grandparents exuded as they adopted five children from different walks of life and cultures. Combining “yours, mine, and ours, step, adopted and foster” making nine total.

The author shares unique insights about what it was like living with her famous grandparents. Today, Roy and Dale are still relatable, and their granddaughter’s heartwarming experiences transcend time and generational differences.
