Uncle Jimmy Weldon was inducted into the Clovis Hall of Fame in 2004. After serving honorable in WWII as a a combat engineer in Patton's Third Army and later an Airforce pilot, Uncle Jimmy began making strides in the entertainment business. Webster Webfoot started out as a voice on the radio in 1945 but had to take form in 1949 when Uncle Jimmy appeared on a children's program in Dallas. Eventually, the round white duck was created who is perpetually 3years old with a birthday on February 31st. After 3 years of airing in Dallas Jimmy moved to Hollywood where he went onto host many shows like "Funny Boners". He would later move to Fresno and continue the Webster Webfoot show - a decision that many young Fresnans appreciated.
