The greatest threat to children of this era--polio--and two of our finest heroes--Roy Rogers and Trigger--all in one beautiful image. I do hope this dear boy lived to experience all the joys of life. This is a Favorite. Congratulations on your sale!

Wow! This picture brought me to tears before I ever read the description, and is even more meaningful with your personal words of history and family. Polio was thriving in those years. I am for any beautiful moments those children may have had. And Roy Rogers and Trigger lived in the hearts of all children of that day! What memories and the photo is a great vintage work! v/f

How touching and sad. You have a treasure haul of wonderful vintage and historical photographs. It does my heart good to see people preserve their family history and help us understand life better. It was so hard back then and to see how wonderful it was to have celebrities try and ease the burdens of others. LOVE IT! Thanks for sharing. L/F/ pinned to fb

Thank you, Donna. I've always loved this picture and am very happy to share it. Roy Rogers was an enormously generous man and made a great difference in so many lives. I'm sure his visit to the hospital with Trigger touched many other families as well.

I never met my Uncle Jimmy (boy in the bed) but heard the story from my mother. It was a wonderful act of kindness by Roy Rogers.
