Carl
Wade has been a historical reenactor since 1997. The
roles portrayed by Wade are generally classified as a man around
town.
While with the Frontier Gunfighters, he usually plays the
law dog Deputy Woody Catchum, or a bartender, a doctor, a preacher,
a shop keeper, or a judge.
Quick on the draw with his trusty .44’s, Wade has performed
throughout Ventura and Santa Barbara counties as well as being
shot down several times in the O. K. Corral in Tombstone, AZ.
When the Frontier Gunfighters taped the TV commercial for Bandits
BBQ Restaurant, he played the shaky old bartender.
In other venues, Wade portrays former President Teddy Roosevelt.
He was a docent for several years at the Dudley House museum in
Ventura, an 1892 farm house built by Benjamin Dudley a former
county supervisor and justice of the peace. Wade currently gives
tours each month as a docent at the Olivas Adobe, an 1841 early
California land grant ranch house.
Wade was transferred to Ventura County by the
U.S. Navy in 1971. Having retired from the uniformed Navy and
Navy civil service, Carl and his wife Judy make their home in
Ventura, CA.
