Our man Tonto. He's Jay Silverheels, a Canadian Indian. Had a successful stable of race horses as well. He was forever against stereotyping Indians, of which he was a classic stereotype. He was also a very good and kind person, not at all like todays stars. The Lone Ranger would always say, "Tonto, go to town and get information." Tonto would ride off to town, snoop around but inevitably get caught, and have the snot kicked out of him. Just once I wish Tonto would have replied, "Up yours Kemosabe. Go to town yourself!" Best wishes.
