Was that copy boy Len Berman?  There's a sports anchor in NY on WNBC who has
been in the market for a while.  Could this be the guy?  Just curious?

Jerry Purvis was looking for a particular show wherein a man becomes trapped
in a ship sunk in the desert.

Jerry, CBS Radio Mystery Theater was not aorund in the '60s; it began in the
mid-70's during the OTR revival.

The show you're looking for is undoubtedly a Suspense broadcast from Sunday,
August 26, 1962 called "The Lost Ship."  The plot is exactly as you noted; it
may have been latered "borrowed" by CBS-RMT, but certainly not in the early
1960's.

Reading the recent thread about Amos 'N' Andy and Sam 'N' Henry reminded me 
that I have in my library a well-worn paperback book.  On the cover it says:
    
    SAM 'N' HENRY   Original Stories of Amos 'N' Andy By Correll and Gosden, 
Illustrated by Samuel J. Smith
    
    The book is copyright 1926 by the Chicago Tribune and in the preface 
Correll and Gosden give thanks only to "the great papa, The Chicago Tribune."  
Would it be safe to assume the Trib had something to do with the radio show?  
Sponsor, perhaps?
    
    The book contains 25 short scripts covering the "boys" adventures from 
leaving Birmingham, Alabama and moving to Chicago to accept jobs with a 
construction company.  I suspect that with music, credits and ads, each script 
could fill a 15-minute time slot. 
    
    Typical dialogue:  The pair are lamenting that they have not yet become 
millionaires.
    
    Sam:  Henry, if we evah 'spect to be millionaires, we gotta invent 
somethin'.
    
    Henry:  Whut you mean--we gotta invent somethin'?
    
    Sam:  Dat's whut eve'body's tryin' to do--invent somethin' like a steam 
shovel or som'pin'--som'pin dat dey kin do mo' wuk wid den dey do now--You know 
Henry, we might git a pencil an' a piece o' papah heah an' figger out how to 
invent a two-haided hammer or somethin' like dat.
    
    Henry:  Whut you gonna do wid a two-haid hammer?
    
    Sam:  Drive nails wid it Henry--you kin drive twice as many nails wid a 
two-haided hammer as you kin wid a one-haid hammah.

I like Stan's delivery on WRW.  It sounds intentionaly "corny".  Sort of like
a vaudeville delivery.  I don't like the fact that he doesn't answer his
e-mail on America On-line, where he has an account.  I guess if I want to
talk to him, I have to book a cruise departing this [removed]

Did anyone else see the Roseanne episode last week with Freberg in it?  I'm
surprised no one has mentioned it so far.  At least he's not missing too many
meals in his golden years! <g>

Message-Id: <[removed]@[removed]>

One blooper I have on tape from the Watergate period was a
report that would gratify any paranoid. It was a CBS Netalert
bulletin from the Federal District Courthouse. The announcer
concluded by saying "...so there you have it, four of the five
Watergate witnesses found guilty."

Around the same time my wife and I went to a theater to see
a showing of the original David Copperfield with [removed] Fields as
McCrumber. I had always missed seeing it. It was on the
bill with Tale of Two Cities. Somehow in California you managed
to see it at least 4 times in school. As I moved to leave after
seeing Copperfield, my wife told me she'd never seen Tale, so we
stayed. 
Here we were in the darkest moments of Watergate. No one knew what
Nixon was capable of doing when cornered. And as thirty strangers
sat in a dark theater, those words came on the screen: "It was
the best of times. It was the worst of times." We all laughed.

I've got a Shadow program titled The Terror at Wolfshead Knoll but don't
have a date for it. I checked the log on Mr. Genco's Website and that title
is not even listed. Could I have the wrong title? Any idea when it might
be?
