WBZ Archives: BOOMTOWN With Rex Trailer Debuts on WBZ-TV

[@daybird2]

I sent for a DVD about Boomtown a couple of years ago. On the day it arrived, I had visitors. Still, I couldn't wait to watch it, so I put it on. When he appeared on the screen, something in me returned to six years old. When he yelled out "Howdy kids" I automatically shouted back, "Howdy Rex". Everyone had a good laugh on me!

I totally enjoyed visiting Boomtown. However. When there was no sign of Goldrush I indicated a desire to meet him.
Sure enough Rex lifted a garage like door on the side of the Soldier's Field Road Studio and backed Goldrush in. What a thrill!

My favorite show

I saw Rex at a charity show in Worcester. He was with The Three Stooges. I remember he did some great rope tricks. My brothers and I loved Boomtown.

He, They were our neighbors & family friends. I remember BBQ's by the pool... Some childhood memories remain because of the wonderful times shared. Sudbury Mass.
