Lone Ranger (Was: [Milsurplus] NOW: Sgt Preston of the Yukon)

[D C *Mac* Macdonald]

Remember when "The Lone Ranger" on radio was sponsored
by Nabisco Shredded Wheat?  Each box had three layers of
what my dad called "bale of hay" and they had cards that
separated the layers with Indian/Cowboy lore and hints.
Do I remember correctly that they may have been called
"Ingenuities" or something similar to that?

How about Captain Midnight and the Secret Squadron? Ovaltine? Encoder 
badges? Don't get me wrong, I liked Sgt. Preston and Yukon King, but I 
really liked Captain Midnight....kinda reminds me of Capt. Mac.....(that's 
why I like you, Mac...you remind me of my childhood hero!!)
