    Subject:  Empire Builder programs

    Folks;

       I'm putting out the call for any of the nine surviving "Empire Builder"
    programs (Elizabeth McLeod, on her Early Radio page at
    [removed]~[removed] lists the following dates:
    11/30/30, 12/22/30, 12/29/30, 1/5/31, 1/12/31, 1/19/31, 1/26/31,  2/2/31, and
    2/16/31) - if any of you have any of these shows and can provide them to me
    in pretty much any format, I will cheerfully podcast them on the Nostalgic
    Rumblings blog at [removed] so everyone on the list (and on
    the Net, for that matter) can enjoy them.

             Charlie
