Bob 'Idea Man' Hooey - Have Mouth, Will Travel

Growing up, I dreamed of being a cowboy or a professional speaker traveling the world... It turns out I was allergic to hay, so... Westerns were big on TV back then... I remember watching shows like Wagon Train, Gun Smoke, the Rifleman, Rawhide, the Lone Ranger, Roy Rogers, and my favorite, Have Gun Will Travel starring Richard Boone. It was good to have role models and heroes as a kid. Whether it was at the movies on a Saturday afternoon or sitting, mesmerized, in front of a small black and white TV, I was hooked. I wanted to be 'that' cowboy riding in to face down the bad guys, to be the one who brought hope and help to the town folk or business owners. Amazingly, I did grow up to be the one bringing hope and help! And, my dream of speaking around the world: Have Mouth, Will Travel was a reality.

Paladin (Richard Boone) was a West Point educated gentleman with a taste for fine wines and foods. Based at the Hotel Carlton in San Francisco, he was a man (gun) for hire. Paladin would do anything for those in serious need. He read the newspapers from across the country and sometimes sent his calling card to those he felt might use his services as gunfighter, bodyguard, or anything else that his skills could accommodate. His fee to those who could pay was $1,000.
