In 1960 Rifleman was a must see TV western among the 20 kids on the 1700 block of Newton Street in Victoria BC. Across the street was an open field with a grove of trees and Bowker Creek. Many kids would show up to play cops and robbers or cowboys and Indians. Many hours were spent hiding and hunting with our cap guns. Xmas of 1960 my brother Tom and I opened our only presents. Our wishes came true.They were holsters with a double set of six-guns. His was black handled and mine white. Very cool.The gang met out in the field and who shows up but one kid with spud rifle and another with a Rifleman Winchester cap-gun. Fun times.
