    Bob Tkacz (no email) is wondering whether a list of songs Gracie sang on
    the Burns and Allen radio show exist.   Apparently she sang quite a few,
    including many patriotic ones.   His phone in CT is 860-944-7441.   Address is
    Box 296, Enfield, CT 06083.   Thank you.   Jay

    Subject:  [removed] Ward book

    The book is titled "[removed] WARD" by David Saunders. Available from
    [removed] and is magnificent. It's a large coffee table
    book, hardcover with color dust jacket, and worth every penny. Not only does
    it include a biography of [removed] Ward, who did a lot of pulp art, but five of
    the eleven chapters centers on the oil paintings Ward did for THE LONE
    RANGER, SUPERMAN, THE GREEN HORNET and NED JORDAN, SECRET AGENT. And not only
    the paintings, but preliminary sketches, proposals that never became oil
    paintings, reprints of telegrams between Ward and George W. Trendle, and much
    more. Definitely the one and only source for everything Ward. And it was
    produced with permission and cooperation of the Ward family (who gave
    Saunders permission to reprint the art work since they own the copyrights and
    yes, the oil paintings were copyrighted). I just spent part of the evening
    reading it and it's wonderful.

    By the way, I recommend you buy it from Illustration's web-site. Buying
    direct helps benefit the author and the publisher much more than buying from
    another web-site.

    Subject:  More Shield Stories

    Folks;

       Researcher extrordinare Karl Schadow pointed me to the the Margaret Parker
    collection at the Nashville (Tenn) Public Library, which appears to have some
    printed material about The Story of the Shield. He also pointed me to an
    on-line index of programs which suggests there are three episodes of this
    program that exist but are not in general [removed] there may be some
    hope episodes of this show will surface one day!

       Much thanks to everyone who has helped in this search, and if you discover
    additional information, please let me know and I'll continue to consolidate
    and post here on the Digest.

             Charlie
