Subject: Re: Bob Hastings and Rosemary Rice
[removed] Jack French has posted a marvelous conversation with Bob Hastings
and Rosemary Rice [removed]
Just so credit goes to the correct person - the Bob Hastings/Rosemary
Rice posting is mine - not Jack French's. As much as Jack is my friend,
I suspect he isn't into posting videos on the Internet.
Jim Widner - the real poster.

Subject: #OldRadio IRC Chat this Thursday Night!
A weekly [removed]
For the best in OTR Chat, join IRC (Internet Relay Chat), StarLink-IRC
Network, the channel name is #OldRadio. We meet Thursdays at 8 PM Eastern
and go on, and on! The oldest OTR Chat Channel, it has been in existence
over nine years, same time, same channel! Started by Lois Culver, widow
of actor Howard Culver, this is the place to be on Thursday night for
real-time OTR talk!
Our "regulars" include OTR actors, soundmen, collectors, listeners, and
others interested in enjoying OTR from points all over the world. Discussions
range from favorite shows to almost anything else under the sun (sometimes
it's hard for us to stay on-topic)...but even if it isn't always focused,
it's always a good time!
For more info, contact charlie@[removed]. We hope to see you there, this
week and every week!
