Wy: Cacky, That was all stuff that came out after Television, when I was younger all we had was the 13 week serial of Gene Autry and the Phantom Empire on every Saturday before the great Tom Mix and Ken Maniord main feature, with the news reel before any of it with a Mickey Duck cartoon.. The only thing we had like television was where the mean folks would look in that round thing, and could see outside the cave where they were hiding and had their headquarters. Another Spring Chicken, Yes we had a radio we would listen to, but had to make sure the batteries were charged before we run it too much, or Dad got upset if we run the batteries down and he could not hear H. V. Kaltenborn with the news.
