Jay Banks was one of the best known Rangers of his time. He had gained national exposure and a bit of celebrity in 1956 when he appeared on national television on The Today Show, Name That Tune, and What’s My Line. In 1957, along with fellow Rangers Johnny Klevenhagen and Jim Ray, he had personally brought an end to the murderous career of the mad-dog killer Gene Paul Norris and his partner Bill Mumphrey. He was reportedly the model for the 'Texas Rangers of Today' statue that was installed at Love Field airport in Dallas in 1963. He passed away in 1987.
