Woodward Maurice Ritter (January 12, 1905 – January 2, 1974), better known as Tex Ritter, was an American country music singer and movie actor popular from the mid-1930s into the 1960s, and the patriarch of the Ritter family in acting (son John and grandson Jason). He is a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame.

Ritter was born in Murvaul, Texas, the son of Martha Elizabeth (née Matthews) and James Everett Ritter. He grew up on his family's farm in Panola County and attended grade school in Carthage. He attended South Park High School in Beaumont. After graduating with honors, he entered the University of Texas at Austin; he studied pre-law, majoring in government, political science and economics.

An early pioneer of country music, Ritter soon became interested in show business. In 1928, he sang on KPRC-AM in Houston, a 30-minute show featuring cowboy songs. That same year, he moved to New York City and landed a job in the men's chorus of the Broadway show The New Moon (1928). He appeared as cowboy Cord Elam in the Broadway production Green Grow the Lilacs (1930), the basis for the musical Oklahoma!. He also played the part of Sagebrush Charlie in The Round Up (1932) and Mother Lode (1934).

William Frederick "Buffalo Bill" Cody (February 26, 1846 – January 10, 1917) was an American soldier, bison hunter and showman. He was born in the Iowa Territory (now the U.S. state of Iowa), in Le Claire but lived several years in Canada before his family moved to the Kansas Territory. Buffalo Bill received the Medal of Honor in 1872 for service to the US Army as a scout. One of the most colorful figures of the American Old West, Buffalo Bill became famous for the shows he organized with cowboy themes, which he toured in Great Britain and Europe as well as the United States.

William Frederick Cody ("Buffalo Bill") got his nickname after the American Civil War when he had a contract to supply Kansas Pacific Railroad workers with buffalo meat. Cody earned the nickname by killing 4,280 American bison (commonly known as buffalo) in eighteen months, (1867–1868).Bill Comstock also had the nickname. Cody and Comstock competed in a buffalo-shooting match over the exclusive right to use the name, which Cody won by killing 69 bison to Comstock's 48.

Lloyd "Shrimp" Andrews (b. November 4, 1894 - d. 1974) was a Canadian professional ice hockey left winger who played 4 seasons in National Hockey League for the Toronto St. Pats.

Andrews was born in Tillsonburg, Ontario. He played four seasons in the National Hockey League for the Toronto St. Pats from 1921–22 to 1924–25. During those four seasons, he played 53 games, scoring 8 goals and adding 5 assists for 13 points. He also had 10 penalty minutes.

Andrews' career was stopped before he could get going as he enlisted in World War I while still a teenager. He returned to play senior hockey for three years at which point the St. Pats signed him on January 23, 1922.

Almost immediately he helped his NHL team win the Stanley Cup. He scored the game-winning goal in the St. Pats 6–0 win over the Vancouver Millionaires in game four of the best-of-five 1922 Stanley Cup finals in what was to be his only trip to the playoffs.

After playing four seasons with the St. Pats, Andrews joined the Can-Am league for six years where he proved to be a scorer of some note, netting as many as 24 goals in the 1929–30 season. He then joined the CHL before retiring in 1934.
