    Peg Lynch-Ronning - creator, writer and star of The Private Lives of Ethel
    and Albert/ The Couple Next Door/ The Little Things in Life on radio and
    Ethel and Albert on television - is currently in ICU at the Berkshire
    Medical Center in Pittsfield, MA. Her daughter has said that she would be
    thrilled by any well wishes that were sent to her via the hospital.

    You can send an electronic Get Well card via the hospital website which
    will be printed out and delivered to her room. This link, if links are
    allowed, shoul take you directly to the page in question.

    Just click the dropdown for Berkshire Medical Clinic and it isn't required
    that you know the room number.

    If you would like to send an actual physical card you can mail it to:

    Peg Lynch-Ronning CC2/12

    C/O Berkshire Health Systems
            725 North Street
            Pittsfield, MA  01201

    Peg is a real treasure and it would be great to show our appreciation for
    all her wonderful shows and the years and years of Old Time Radio
    Conventions she has made appearances at since they became so popular.

    Subject:  Buck Benny

    Thanks for the interesting piece on Chicago radio history. I just moved to
    Chicago last summer. During the multiple trips it took to move, I was looking
    for things to pass the time on road.

    That's when I ran across Jack Benny Podcasts on iTunes from a guy who goes by
    the handle of "Buck Benny."

    His interesting gimmick is that he plays Benny programs from that specific
    week ([removed] 3rd week of April) from 80 years ago - and also from 75, 70, 65,
    and 60 years ago.

    So you get to hear all Benny shows from around April (or Christmas, or
    Valentines Day, etc.) from the years 1934, 1939, 1944, and 1949.

    He also records a little introduction pointing out cast changes that were
    made or what was going on in current events at the time or what the cast was
    up to outside of the broadcast.

    It is a clever way to make Old Radio seem refreshingly current.

    He has a goal to do this for all 900+ Benny shows and he is about 2 years
    from hitting that goal. [removed]

    For what it's worth - I am now a steady [removed] (and not connected in any
    way)
