    Well, I've finally done it. Just before the Reps Convention I put together a
    4 CD set with 11 stories all featuring OTR stars in NTR shows written by Jim
    French. We've got Harry Bartell, Gil Stratton, Herb Ellis, Art Gilmore,
    Jeanette Nolan, Tyler McVey, Fred Foy, Herb Ellis, Rhoda Williams, Shirley
    Mitchell, Peter Leeds, Dick Beals,Parley Baer, Lawrence Dobkin, Alice
    Backes,Bob Hastings and Rosemary Rice. If you're interested check out
    [removed] and look for "Stars of The Golden Age of Radio on
    Imagination Theatre." I'm in a couple of the shows too.

    Subject:  Russ Hodges

    Thank you, Jim Meals for your comments on the book about Willie Mays and Russ
    Hodges' call.   Yes, Russ made the call on the radio.  "The Giants
    Encyclopedia", a fine history of the NY and SF Giants,  by Tom Schott and
    Nick Peters had this to say in the section on Russ Hodges --

    "Hodges worked the fateful ninth by luck of the draw.  It was partner Ernie
    Harwell's turn to do TV, so Hodges was left with radio chores and called the
    historic homer"   Harwell:  "What did radio bring Russ?  Immortality,  What
    did coast-to-coast TV bring me?  Nothing.  It's fair to say that TV was still
    not a household fact."

    I own but haven't yet read the Mays book.  I moved out to the SF Bay Area in
    1958 to attend UC Berkeley.  That was the same year the Giants moved here.
    One thing that bothered me was that Willie did not get the attention he
    deserved at first.  The bay area was still loving the memories of the SF
    Seals and had a 'show me' attitude.  Now he has a wonderful, well-deserved
    statute at AT&T Park and is a permanent "elder statesman"  member of the
    organization, always present at important events.

    Radio will always be an important part of baseball.  Even when we were at
    games we listened to Russ Hodges and Lon Simmons radio coverage through
    earphones.

    Subject:  Peter Fernandez, An Appreciation

    It's turning out to be a sad St. Swithin's Day. I received a phone call this
    morning from my friend Corinne Orr (regular stock company player on "The
    CBS Radio Mystery Theatre") informing me that her "Speed Racer" co-star Peter
    Fernandez had died earlier today (15th) after a long bout with cancer. Most
    folks will remember Peter as a child- and juvenile actor during the Golden
    Age,
    particularly on "Let's Pretend."

    Peter had a varied showbiz career as an actor, writer, composer, and voice
    talent. He wrote several episodes of the 1960s retrOTR series "Theater Five"
    and
    was known to a newer generation of fans not only as the American voice of
    "Speed
    Racer" but also as the composer of that programme's theme song (Corinne told
    me
    he was very proud of his association with "Speed Racer").

    When interviewed for a 1997 book on "Speed Racer," Peter recounts how he was
    cast in the 1949 film "City Across the River," which featured him, Tony Curtis
    (then billed as "Anthony"), and another actor he didn't want to name (given
    where this story is going) as three sailors on leave in NYC [the third actor
    was
    Al Ramsen, older brother of OTR actor/nightclub comedian/regular FOTR guest
    Bobby Ramsen]. Years later, Tony Curtis wrote an autobiography which featured
    a
    publicity photo of the three actors which he captioned  "And where are Peter
    Fernandez and [Al Ramsen] now?...DOWN THE TOLIET OF NO RETURN." {Mr. Curtis's
    caps].

    'T'wasn't very nice.

    About a month ago, I was listening to Max Schmid's "The Golden Age of Radio"
    over WBAI-FM here in the NYC market. Max was featuring a show on a relatively
    new Radio Spirits collection "The Many Voices of Johnny Dollar," a boxed set
    showcasing episodes of all the actors who ever played "the man with the
    action-packed expense account." The episode Max played was the very last
    episode
    of "Johnny Dollar" tahat originally aired on Sunday, September 30th, 1962."
    Since this show was the last OTR show to play on that fateful day, it was, by
    default, the last OTR programme to play on what is arguably the last day of
    Old
    Time Radio.

    In the cast were a stable of NYC-based actors including the then-Johnny Mandel
    Kramer, Jackson Beck, Jack Grimes, Joseph Julian, and Peter Fernandez [those
    are
    the names I [removed] Rick Keating or some other YTJD authority verify
    them?]. At the time, I remember thinking Peter Fernandez is the only one
    surviving and that he was the last link to the last programme of the last day
    of
    the OTR era.

    We're going to miss you, pal.

    On a sidenote, Peter Fernandez should not be confused with actor Peter Jay
    Fernandez, who had a regular role on the late 1980s syndicated "Superboy" show
    and who narrated many Talking Books with me at American Foundation for the
    Blind.

    Yours truly in the ether,

    My friend and fellow OTR fan Steve Thompson, a mainstay at the annual
    Cincinnati
    OTR & Nostalgia convention, and I were speaking about how Peter
    Fernandez was
    featured in the last episode of "Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar"
    airing on OTR's
    last day, Sunday, September 30th, 1962. When I noted that the
    very next day,
    October 1st, 1962, was the debut of Johnny Carson as host of
    "The Tonight Show,"
    Steve thought that this was an ironic passing of the
    torch being that Carson was
    the personification of the television era.

    Not
    everybody is comfortable with assigning 09-30-1962 as the "end of an era"
    being that Arthur Godfrey and "Monitor" were still going; therefore, wide
    acceptance of this theory of OTR yielding itself to the Carson-era reign of TV
    is not particularly forthcoming.  I wasn't even born yet.

    Yours/ether,

    of the OTR era." It's certainly arbitrary, but we have to have _some_
    guideline, so I threw a dart and there it is.  --cfs3]

    Hello folks;
    I have been trying to find some information on an OTR program from 1957-1958
    called
    'Unit 99'  It seems to be another reality type cop show.  I haven't found any
    information on it and would appreciate the help of knowledgeable Digesters.
    Thanks.

    Oh Michael, you have no idea how gratified I was to read your reaction.
    Mine was very much the same, and even more so because I cringed constantly
    at the incredibly large number of factual errors and myths that are conveyed
    in that article.  Having spent 30 years researching "The Truth" (which is,
    admittedly, often elusive) about Jack, it was hard reading it.  So you've
    probably already taken in even more bad information than you may realize.

    Just glad to hear someone else besides me say it.

    Giddens is a wonderful writer on jazz. His Bing Crosby biography is
    considered definitive.

    Vintage comedy is a difficult thing to critique. It requires context and most
    people don't have it. As a historian, Giddens has the context but probably
    assumes that average modern man would find the humor of OTR inaccessible.

    You all have my profoundest apologies. In a previous posting I wrote about
    Peter
    Fernandez's passing, I had noted that Peter, Tony Curtis, and Al Ramsen played
    sailors
    on-leave in the 1949 film "City Across the River." It seems I got my movies
    mixed up.
    They actually played youthful members of a street gang. Said film was based on
    the provocative novel "The Amboy Dukes" by Irving Shulman.
