I was listening to the last Gildersleeve episode with Harold Peary (June
14, 1950) and although Peary makes his end of the season thank you's to the
staff and the audience, there is no mention of this being his last show. I
don't have the first episode with Willard Waterman yet, so I don't know if
Mr. Peary ever says goodbye formally on the air. 
 
Does anyone know more about this? Was the decision for Mr. Peary to leave a
last minute one before the start of the fall season? Thanks.

I'm writing a book about my father (Jess Oppenheimer) and his career in 
radio.  He started in 1934 as a writer-performer on "Blue Monday 
Jamboree", which originated from KFRC in San Francisco and was broadcast 
coast-to-coast as part of the Columbia-Don Lee Network. The show's large 
cast featured, among others, Al Pearce, Tommy Harris and Murray Boland.  
The musical director had been Meredith Wilson until he was hired away by 
NBC and replaced by Claude Sweeten.  Ralph Edwards, Pat Weaver, and Bea 
Benaderet also got their starts there.  The station's studios were 
located on the second floor of Don Lee's Cadillac dealership on  Van Ness 
Avenue.

The emcee of "Blue Monday Jamboree" was KFRC's general manager, Harrison 
Holloway.  Can anyone tell me the correct spelling of Harrison Holloway?  
In Pat Weaver's book, "The Best Seat in the House", Weaver spells it 
"Holloway", but another book has a "Blue Monday Jamboree" cast photo, and 
in the caption the name is spelled "Holliway". 

Any help that anyone can give me would be much appreciated.  Also, if 
anyone has any information or memories about KFRC, the Columbia-Don Lee 
Network, or Blue Monday Jamboree, I'd be pleased to hear about it.  

Thanks a lot.
