    Can anyone enlighten me as to what it means when a radio show is announced
    as "partially transcribed?" I hear it on The Great Gildersleeve Show.
    Much appreciated.

    A hearty thanks to every one of you who participated in the old-fashioned
    "card shower" which I organized for the 81st birthday of OTR historian and
    author, Jim Cox. We filled his USPS mail box in Louisville with nearly four
    dozen cards and letters so congratulations were abundant. Mail poured in from
    friends, fans, and admirers throughout the USA.

    The surprise couldn't be announced in advance on this OTR Digest venue, as
    Jim would have seen it, but it was posted by Martin Grams, Jr. on Facebook, a
    social platform Jim never checks. I also emailed as many of you that I could,
    asking that you send either a store-bought or homemade card to arrive on Oct
    22nd.

    Jim knew most of you from whom he received greetings. However neither he nor
    his wife, Sharon, could recall "Bill" from Augusta, GA (no last name or
    street address) and a few others.  No matter-whether you are a friend of
    his for umpteen years or a brand-new fan, your participation in this surprise
    shower is deeply appreciated.

    I believe I've heard (and others on this forum may know the details)
    that KDKA was not in fact the first radio broadcast, and that there
    were some others (including one in Canada) that preceded it.
