NIU LLI: Unmasking Clayton Moore: The Evolution of TV’s Lone Ranger

The NIU Lifelong Learning Institute (LLI), established in 2000, is a member-directed group of individuals primarily age 50+ who enjoy learning in informal, flexible, non-competitive groups and like connecting with peers who share their interests. No grades, no tests – just learning for the fun of it. Course Description: Return to the thrilling days of yesteryear. Hi-Yo, Silver! The class focuses on the Moore era of the masked man from 1949-57 in comics, television and movies. Early TV episodes, the full-length Lone Ranger movie from 1956, and a rare interview with daughter Dawn Moore will be shown. Convener: Mike Korcek was inducted into the media wing of the Illinois Basketball Coaches Association Hall of Fame in 1999, plus the NIU Athletics HOF in 2003. The 1970 NIU grad was the recipient of NIU’s Outstanding Service Award in 1989 and the Donald R. Grubb NIU Journalism Alumnus of the Year Award in 1998.
