Hello, This isn't genealogical, but historical. Someone recently sent a message to the Daily Register asking about the old Lucky Leroy show that aired on WSIL Channel 3 back in the 1950s. I'm part of the Uncle Briggs generation (see there is a genealogical thread), and just barely know about Cactus Pete, so I was thrown for a loop with Lucky Leroy. The writer also remembered the Colonel Bleep and Captain Comet show sponsored by Red Wing shoes. Last year the Pope county list got off on an interesting discussion of movies filmed in Southern Illinois, I am wondering if some of the folks on this list who remember these shows, and other locally-produced television efforts can provide some details. Any memories will be forwarded to the interested party. Thank you, Jon Musgrave www.IllinoisHistory.com www.BlueHerons.com - Southern Illinois News, Information, and Links
