Johnny stabled his pinto horse ("Two Bits" which was given to him as a gift) at Fred Bales Stables on Riverside Drive in Burbank; my sister, Carolyn, and I stabled our horses there as well. I think Bobby Crawford also stabled a horse there but I'm unsure about that. I have two very vivid memories of Johnny. The first -Johnny and and another round actor, Joel Thomas who stabled his horse at Bales, had a running feud which finally came to a fight - very one-sided - Johnny won. My second memory - when Johnny got his driver's license he also got a car, a Chevy convertible I think but that was 60 years ago. Johnny, took my sister and I to Disneyland and his fans hounded him all over the park. He asked me to go to Main Street and buy a disguise so he could see there park in peace, I was about 12 and I was afraid they'd ditch me so I say no. I regret that decision to this day.
