Aw, Pat Buttram is AWESOME! I remember hearing his voice as a child and then when I first actually saw him as Gene Autry's side-kick (and later Mr. Haney) it was so cool. Pat's definitely a favorite of mine and I believe a book is being written about him (because when I was still a TV Tome editor and I was in charge of the Pat Buttram page there, the author of the book e-mailed me asking if he/she could use the information I provided on TV Tome in the book).
