    Subject:  Radio Recall

    The February 2009 issue of Radio Recall is enroute to the printer and
    will be delivered to subscribers (their choice of PDF or hard copy)
    very soon. This issue leads off with the story of the tragic endings
    of two lovely people, Joe "Wanna buy a duck" Penner and his wife,
    Eleanor. Next, Norman Cox (no relation to Jim) discusses the
    propaganda of Mildred Gillars, whose Nazi broadcasts earned her the
    nickname of "Axis Sally" and eventually put her in a federal prison
    in West Virginia.

    Two recent and prominent OTR books are reviewed: Mark Anderson
    reviews Jim Cox's "This Day in Network Radio" while OTR historian and
    collector, David Siegel, reviews the two volume set (2nd edition) of
    Luther F. Sies, "Encyclopedia of American Radio, 1920-1960." Part 2
    of the career summary of Bill Stern, entitled "Even His Initials Were
    [removed]" also appears in this February issue.

    Subject:  Re: Trivia Challenge!

    There are several "Quiet Please" episodes about a man obsessing over an
    idealized woman (for some reason, it's a favorite theme of author Wyllis
    Cooper) but I don't think any have a plot exactly like the one you describe.
    Usually, the protagonist wants very much to make contact but is kept apart
    from his true love until the story's end.

    If you heard a "Quiet Please" episode with this theme in the 1970s, though,
    then that narrows it down considerably because most of the surviving episodes
    weren't available then. My best guess is that you're looking for "And Jeannie
    Dreams of Me," a beautiful and very striking script. Other romantic episodes
    that were available at that time included "The Little Morning" and
    "Valentine."

    dates for a case that was sent to me named "The Yastley Case".  I've
    asked as many people and resources as I happen to know, including "The
    Sherlock Holmes Museum in London, with no luck.  I'm almost certain that
    it was broadcast under a different title and renamed, but don't know what the
    original title was.

           If there is anyone out there who knows what the original title of this

    Subject:  Presidential Radio Address'

    President Obama is apparently continuing the radio only address' on Saturday
    morning, the tradition started by an otr radio president, Ronald Reagan in
    1981. However, I was thinking that radio only speeches by presidents do not
    go back as far as we might think, to the pre-television era.

    Did not Richard Nixon have longer, "policy" speeches for radio only, into
    the 70's? I seem to remember as a youth that Nixon would have a 45 minute to
    perhaps more than an hour at a time to elucidate further on what might be
    too mundane for television.

    Is my memory correct on this? Was Nixon the last president to really use
    radio often, and for purposes other than just "throwing one to the radio
    boys"?
