The town of Cody is named after William Frederick Cody, better known as Buffalo Bill (1846-1917).  He was an American scout, a bison hunter and a showman and he helped to create this town. More on Buffalo Bill in a few days.

Two photos.  Can you guess who they are?

B is easy.  A is a famous American who was born in Cody, Wyoming in 1912 and died in 1956 in a car crash.  He said "Every good painter paints what he is."  If you can't find the answer, I'll tell you tomorrow.

It was an American children's television program.  It began in October 1954 and ended in May 1959.  It was the story of a boy orphaned in an Indian raid who was being raised by the soldiers at US Cavalry post know as Fort Apache.  The boy and his German shepherd dog Rin Tin Tin helped the soldiers establish order in the American West.
