RB080 The Road to Fame

  Our Ranger Bill for this Friday, August 28, 2026,

is RB080

The Road to Fame

RB-080 – The Road to Fame – Young Todd Dahlgren looks for fame the “easy” way, by becoming the town troublemaker. Todd’s dad is fed up with him but doesn't know what to do. Uncle Sam may have a cure for Todd’s bad attitude – Todd’s in the U.S. Army! Even Todd’s commander has his hands full with the boy. Ranger Bill may have an idea or two on how to change Todd’s attitude.
