    Subject:  Women in Radio - Followup

    I mentioned that after I did a short presentation on Women in Radio at
    the Western Heritage Center, they asked me to be their noon time
    lecturer last week.  It went well.  It was a small crowd ("crowd" is a
    bit of a hyperbole) but the level of interest was high.

    I have a PowerPoint that I've added to and tweaked for 10-15 years as I
    used parts of it in my classroom when I was teaching and have presented
    at our state teacher's conference and our city library a number of
    times.  Depending on the crowd and the specific topic, I cover, timeline
    stye, the development of the hardware and then branch into the broadcast
    content up to 1962. I have lots of sound samples embedded and play as
    many as I can.  Last week I added a piece about learning about local
    history through "found sounds" and went through my Paper Tapes archive
    web site ([removed]) as an example.  During Q&A many of the
    questions had to do with what the future of radio might be.

    The presentation was video taped and I'll try to get a copy and get it
    online.  Our local paper showed up and did a piece on it (a slow news day.)

    As things tend to blossom, our weekly paper was there and will run a
    story in their next issue. Then I get a call from our local CBS TV
    station and they want to do a story about my finding all those paper
    tapes years ago.

    And my plan, last June, when I retired, was to slip into [removed]

    Subject:  ANNIE

    ANNIE was a radio show and contains the Hour of Smiles show. So I find it
    suitable to appear here. It is currently being revived on Broadway, but is
    also a holiday offering at many local theatres. Should you be in northeast
    Ohio you can catch ANNIE at the Beck Center for the Arts (12/7 to 1/6) and
    see me as FDR. Happy holidays.
    Yours,
    Leslie Feagan
