Neither was Mr. Castleton.

I believe that Mr. Schulte's middle name was Rudy. Sources to the contrary are blatantly false. His lighted nose was mistaken for a "wildfire" one evening by a myopic neighbor and the nickname stuck, (better than the light bulb in his nose). The reindeer story came later.

Rudolph the famous reindeer was actually named after Schulte..............and now you know the rest of the story. PH

Gene Autry, the late owner of the Angels and the singer on the most popular version of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, originally was going to sing the song about Schulte. Wildfire took a page from the Honus Wagner playbook and threatened legal action (He didn't care for Singing Cowboys). The lyrics were hastily changed and the rest you already know.....
