    I've ALWAYS wanted more info on John Grant, who wrote (or rewrote) most of the
    material for Abbott and Costello in the films. Anyone have a non-internet
    lead for him?

    Subject:  Jiggs and Maggie

    I am interested in learning if a radio program existed starring Jiggs and
    Maggie. There were several Jiggs and Maggie movies made during the 1940's
    starring Joe Yule as Jiggs. He was Mickey Rooney's father. Would  like to
    know how to abtain copies of the movies.

    Hi Trina,

    Are you including things line Minnesota School Of The Air, South Dakoda
    School Of The Air,  Radio House Of Texas University, Indiana School Of The

    Are you only wanting shows from series which mention school in the title
    like Red Skelton -'47-01-07 45 Education & Schools, Archie Andrews
    -'45-06-23 Annex for High School, Amos & Andy -'50-04-02 239 Andy GoesTo
    Charm School, Amos & Andy -'48-11-07 180 Correspondence School, AYS

    There are also shows like "swing School"

    Cheers,
    Patrick

    Subject:  Fred de Cordova

    At the risk of dropping names, I have to chime in on Fred de Cordova.   He
    was one of the very first members of the IJBFC way back in the early 80s, and
    helped put me in touch with Mary Benny before the end of her life.  Mary
    almost never answered fan mail, but she did send me a very brief, one page,
    handwritten note (which,  now that I've seen her personal files,  it seems
    that she
    almost never did).

    I had the pleasure of interviewing him in his NBC office back in 1995  (as
    Jack Benny Times subscribers know).  I considered Fred a personal  friend, and
    he was one of the very finest gentlemen I ever knew.  I still  miss him a lot.
