    I was glad to see a mention of Chuck Schaden's retirement from "Those Were The
    Days" and a mention of his final broadcast. For those of us who weren't there
    for the Golden Age of Radio, he was as good a spokesman as those shows and
    performers could've asked for. I hope you'll tune in to hear him on June 20 or
    June 27 (or both) as he wraps up his long and marvelous career.

    And of course, I hope you'll tune in to "Those Were The Days" on July 4 and
    every Saturday thereafter as yours truly assumes the role of [removed]

    OK, that's the one.  Sorry.

    John W. Campbell, Jr. was the editor of Astounding Science Fiction
    magazine starting in 1937 and remained editor until he died in 1971
    (the name was changed to "Analog" in 1960).  The magazine was usually
    the leading magazine in the field, and he discovered and mentored
    some of the greatest science fiction writers of the day, including
    Robert Heinlein and Isaac Asimov.  Asimov freely admitted that his
    Laws of Robotics were first formulated by Campbell, but Campbell
    insisted that he found them implicit in Asimov's first robot story.

    I had the pleasure of meeting Campbell on several occasions in the
    1960s, and I found him a fascinating man. To this day, if you pick up
    a copy of Analog magazine, you will very likely find, somewhere, a
    mention of Campbell.  The publishers of Analog sponsor the John W.
    Campbell Award for the most promising new writer of the year, given
    annually at the World Science Fiction Convention.  It is usually
    presented by Stanley Schmidt, the current editor.

    Campbell also co-founded Dianetics/Scientology with L. Ron Hubbard,
    but withdrew after a short time.
