Dear Patti, My mistake was thinking that people on this computerized list knew about something called the radio. Remember, The Lone Ranger, and Gang Busters, and Mr. Keene - Tracer of Lost Persons, The Green Hornet, and The Shadow. Ahhhhh life was simple in those days, until one of the tubes burned out.

Bob I remember all those programs, we use to sit right in front of the radio, like if we sat anywhere else we would not be able to hear the stories. I remember listening to "The Birds" in the late 40's, which many many years later was made into a movie. There was a program that had a squeaking door, I think that was Inter Sanctum or something like that. I also remember Gabriel Heater on the radio.
