    Subject:  Vic Perrin

    Someone had recently inquired about Vic's possibly being related to Sam
    Perrin.  I had never heard that. I recently had a conversation with Vic's
    widow, Rita Perrin, who still attends the luncheons of the Pacific Pioneer
    Broadcasters, in the Southern California area.  Through the advantages of no
    longer existent SPERDVAC conventions, I have known Rita even when Vic was
    alive.

    In the Los Angeles area many years ago, Vic had a brother who was a
    reporter/newsman on the CBS Radio affiliate, KNX. He was Lloyd Perrin, and
    he pre-deceased Vic by many years. As for Vic, he was considered one of the
    most distinguished and talented of radio actors.  Only the finest on the
    west coast worked for producer-director Norman Macdonnell (Gunsmoke).

    Some years ago when I interviewed Norman Corwin, I took a few photos of him
    in his apartment in LA. Unfortunately, they were some of the least
    satisfactory ones I have taken. Is there anyone on the list who took a good
    photo of him (in an artistic sense, clear, good composition, good lighting
    etc.) when he attended a SPERDVAC convention? Do you still have a negative?

    I may want to buy a copy.

    I know that as a radio personality she was involved in modern BBC radio
    rather than OTR.  However, as a radio personality she is/was one of the
    greats and she will be sorely missed on such shows as 'The News Quiz" and
    "Just a Minute".

    I hope that you can get chance to read the tribute and in particular listen
    to the tribute from Jeremy Hardy.  She was a great talent and she will be
    sorely missed.

    I can't tell you where to find audio  copies and I suspect none exist
    now. But I can tell you and Harold a little more about that series. In
    1981, I was the Unit Chief of the FBI's Research Unit and I had one of
    my historians, Lynn Vines, go through our FBI files concerning all the
    network and local radio shows involving the Bureau.  Her results were
    published in the November 1981 issue FBI employee's magazine, "The
    Investigator."  Here's what Lynn said about this particular series:

    "While there were a number of lesser-known radio programs about the FBI
    which were produced on local radio, two had large audiences in their
    respective areas. The first show, 'The FBI in Action,' debuted on
    February 20, 1943 over WGY, the General Electric station in
    Schenectady, New York. The show was produced and directed by Earle
    Pudney.

    "WGY's writers based their scripts upon actual case histories from the
    files of the FBI, and weekly listeners heard about the diligent and
    effective crime-combatting efforts of FBI Agents--efforts which always
    resulted in the apprehension and punishment of criminals.

    "Special Agent in Charge of the Albany Office, Arthur Cornelius, Jr.,
    was the show's narrator and also assisted in the preparation of the
    scripts. The show, which was entirely non-commercial, emphasized the
    'crime does not pay' theme. The program, one of the most popular
    produced by WGY, ran until 1956."
