關於我： On the whole my life has been favored by friendly winds. I watched, and was a part of, the development of talking pictures, the heyday of radio, the birth and incredible growth of television. I saw country music leap out of the haylofts and honkytonks. I had the best of two eras—mine and the one I re-created on the movie scene.
Throughout his long career, Gene Autry played many roles—as a recording, radio, motion picture, television and live performance star; singing cowboy, media maverick; sports team owner; and museum founder.
我想認識：
Did you know? Gene Autry is the first and only celebrity with all five stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Gene Autry, the legendary entertainer and businessman parlayed his consummate charm, amazing showmanship, impeccable timing, and sheer genius to achieve so much.
From his early days in rodeo and throughout his long career as a performer, Gene was accompanied by his partner and sidekick, Champion, the World’s Wonder Horse. Like Gene, Champion received thousands of fan letters every month.
Hundreds of artifacts and objects that frame Gene’s story were on display as part of the Centennial exhibition including a life-size replica of Gene and Champion, the World’s Wonder Horse, and Gene’s closet with his brilliant embroidered shirts by Nudie and Rodeo Ben, handsome hand-tooled leather boots from Lucchese of San Antonio, and spotless cowboy hats from Stetson and Resistol featuring the “Gene Autry crush.” Other key objects were his first gold record, Autry’s famous Martin D-45 guitar, and his retired baseball jersey. The gallery sections included The New Deal Cowboy, The Singing Cowboy, The Corporate Cowboy, The Cowboy, and Win One for the Cowboy.

In every change that you experience in life, there will be times when you'll wonder if you can endure. But you'll learn that facing each difficulty one by one isn't so hard. It's when you don't deal with a situation that it sometimes comes back to confront you again. Changes are sometimes very painful, but they teach us that we can endure and that we can become stronger. Everything that comes into your life has a purpose, but the outcome is in your hands by the action you take. Be wise with your life, be willing to endure, and always be willing to face life's challenges.
Friends answer your needs before their own. You come to them with your hunger, And they satisfy you with peace. That's how friends are. Friends let you speak your mind, Without worrying what their thoughts will be. Friends know when you are silent, They need to listen your heart. Friends share the joy and the pain. They know about desire and rejection. Friends allow you to be who you are, Without expectations of who you should be. Friends don't come with a purpose, They don't come with a plan. They come to enlighten your spirit, They come to brighten your heart. They come to give you a hand when needed And expect nothing in return. It is the little things that friends do. Like fill your heart with pleasure, hope and joy. AAHH... The Sweetness Of Friendsip There can be no price placed on Friendship It has once been told. For Friendships are worth far more than gold.
