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

This is addressed to John Olsen. I noticed your message about having some
Captain Midnight premiums.

I still have a few myself. A 1948 decoder and a 1955 decoder. I had a chance
to meet Richard Webb, the actor who played [removed] on television in 1956 or 57.
I was helping at a [removed] Telethon and he was making a guest appearance. He
put me on the air as one of the oldest members of the Secret Squadron. After
he made that remark, a number of people called in to say that had been
members for even longer years.

I knew he was going to be there, so I took my membership booklet and had him
autograph it.

I don't know if these premiums are worth anything, but I wouldn't part with
mine. I use to have a lot, but over the years, as I was growing up, my
partents helped me get rid of them.

Remember the buttons with the pictures of the stars from Tom Mix. I have one
square inch of land in Alaska from Sgt. Preston.

A range finder from Ralston. A a post card of the Space Patrol rocket ship
that I really wanted to win, but never did. Remember, when they were giving
that away in a contest. I wonder if someone really one it. It was a small
trailer in the shape of a rocket.

BTW, I'm SQ 129736.

The kids today just don't know what they are missing.

Message-Id: <[removed]+39@[removed]>

In response to Joseph Andolina Jr. I posted a message sometime ago about a
local radio station in Vancouver, [removed] that is still presently braodcasting
in Real Audio 1 although I see that they are going to be changing to Real
Audio 2. The station is at [removed] With regards to 14400 versus 28800
I believe that as people say the in PC is a pentium also the in modem is
28800. Although that will probably be surpassed soon as USR already have
their 33600 modem on the market and cable modems are around the corner. One
thing I've noticed though is that alot of PC software and hardware is more
expensive in the [removed] compared to Canada. I live near the [removed] border and
spend alot of time in Northern Washington state and have noticed that alot
of items I'm looking for are the same price in the [removed] but with a 40%
exchange rate versus the Canadian dollar it is suddenly much more expensive
in the [removed] If you have access to the Canadian market see what you can find.
USR modems are going for around $[removed] Canadian. That translates to about
$[removed] [removed]
For those of you who do not know about CKNW's programming schedules OTR
starts every night Monday to Saturday at 9PM PST. From 9PM to 11PM
programming varies from music to interviews etc. At 11PM there is a replay
of an OTR show. The host fo the show is one Jack Cullen. If you listen you
may be get lucky and hear one of Jack's interviews from the past with a star
from the past. For example on the Monday following George Burns' death Jack
replayed some of his personnal interviews with George when he visited
Vancouver. Jack has been braodcasting for approx. 50 years and has some
unbelievable interviews. At one time he had the largest record collection in
North America.
Hope this info help some.

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

A  friend of mine here in Seattle, where we are members of a radio
enthusiast group (Radio Enthusiasts of Puget Sound -- REPS) has asked
if there is any way to find out if anyone has heard of a show he liked
from about '43 or '44 called Shafter Parker and His Circus.

I believe that he indicated that it was heard in the Chicago area, but
I'm not sure.

If anyone can shed any light on this, I'm sure Frank Denton would be
very appreciative --- especially if he can get some tapes of the
shows.

I have a fragment of a suspense episode that I can't identify.  It involves
a man driving from New York to California and along the way keeps seeing the
same hitchhiker w/ spots of rain on him.  I know its a fairly famous
episode, any info would be appreciated.  Thank you.

Subject: I'm Back From the Field!
Message-Id: <[removed]@superior>

Greetings to all my OTR friends.  I just got back from my five month
stint of fieldwork among the Navajo in the American Southwest.
Because I was on Compuserve and had to pay connect charges, I could't
afford to stay on the Digest.  Now it's different, and I don't have to
miss all these wonderful conversations about out favorite hobby.

I want to thank Randy Minnehan who kindly fronted for me with the Lone
Ranger research which I started while in New Mexico, and for passing
on all the good stuff that I might find interesting.  Thanks Randy!

I will have more to say about my research on the Lone Ranger when I
have the time to write it up.  Meanwhile, I would like to connect with
any of you privately who might have similar interests in learning more
about The Masked Man and his Faithful Companion Tonto.

Help!  A couple of weeks ago someone posted a notice that she (I believe) had
a number of copies of "His Typewriter Grew Spurs," the biography of Fran
Striker.  For some reason I don't have the price, though I DO have the
address to which orders may be sent.  Can someone enlighten me?  E-mail me
directly, please:  fshillman@[removed]
Many thanks.
