Three years at CWM made me a real traditionalist, and I keep remembering Bob Parkinson saying, "I want the people to see what the circus used to be, not what it is today. That's what this site is about!

Here is Richard Simmons as Sgt. Preston, riding Rex. Noticeably missing is the fabled Yukon King, who for the TV series, was re-cast from an Alaskan Huskie to a Malamute. Authority was given by howling Yukon blizzards, accompanied by "Diana's Theme". Who among us can still hear Sgt. Preston declaring, "I arrest you in the name of the Crown!" And, "Well, King, this case is closed."
