Love it.....if we only had the ability to see them performing their rolls in the studio...

I'll be driving for 10 hours on Friday and Monday for the holiday weekend. Help me get there and back Greg! I'm depending on you.

Happy Memorial Day everyone!

Greg, I love all the pictures! I was watching a Perry Mason on TV and recognized Gerald Mohr from a picture that you ran in the past. I couldn't wait for the credits to see if I was right. Keep up the good work.

We've done a couple script readings at our Drama rehearsal and My Friend Irma is one of our favourites to read I love reading Al's part, specially when he calls Joe

Great to see the faces that go with the voices we all know so well.
Greg the scheduling was great this past week. I got to listen to almost the whole line up and no repeats.
I really enjoyed the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle block.

Hi, Gang! Michael, you should have a great time on your long drive - new shows, shows to honor our war dead and some terrific "oldies but goodies" such as "Suspense," "Mystery Playhouse" and even "Father Knows Best." I do hope you'll get to hear "Wake Island." Oh how great that was!

My Dad used to always talk about Digger the Undertaker and laugh, I'm glad I can hear what he was talking about now.

Rosemary, I heard them all. The special of the day was the Sherlock Holmes with Mr. Wells as the villian. Wake Island was also a good listen.

Bill Stern was the most prolific sports storyteller in all of broadcast radio during the 1930s and 1940s. His Colgate Sports Newsreel told the stories of familiar sports figures and how they began their careers through the ages.

You may have not intended to do so, but I think you have managed to express the state of mind that a lot of people are in. The sense of wanting to help, but not knowing how or where, is something a lot of us are going through.
