Subject: very interesting question -- BARRIE CRAIG

I am a big diehard fan of Barrie Craig, Confidential Investigator, which ran
on NBC from 1951 to 1955. It seems all 59 existing episodes (or what is known
to exist) of the approx 180 broadcasts. In the 32 years I've listened to it,
since I was 14, I have found it refreshing to listen to most of the episodes
over and over again into ad nauseum (that is said lovingly).
Do you ever think that more episodes may be sitting around somewhere waiting
to be released? I just hope they come up with more. It is such a fun series
to listen to.
