"The Lone Ranger and Tonto visited Riley Hospital for Children in 1953."

Black and white photograph. The year is 1953. The setting is outdoors on a sidewalk with a manicured lawn in the background. There are trees in the distance and cars from that era parked to the side. A white boy in a wheel chair appears in the foreground. His back is to the photographer, and he holds a camera to his eye. Two men dressed as the Lone Ranger and Tonto are standing in front of the boy. The Lone Ranger is looking skyward above the boy's head. Tonto is staring at the boy's camera.
Winning Entry!

When I grow up, I can use this photo as a delightfully nostalgic counter example to Native American genocide.

The real reason behind the smiles ..tonight on Access Hollywood.

Ever wonder what is going though an actors head at a photo shoot?  We asked Jay Silverheels and Clayton Moore during this recent photo shoot.

Lone Ranger:  I mostly just zone out and hope to get struck by lightinig.  I don't know what I was thinking when I let them tattoo a mask on my face.

Tonto: I think of all the silver bullets I've "borrowed" through the years waiting in my safe deposit box for retirement.
