    Hi Ryan

    On 2/22/2015 8:56 PM, Ryan Ellett asked:

    I can definitely confirm that Alland was one of the writers for the
    series, based on credits given in the programs in my collection. The
    producer was William N. Robeson.   The series did win some awards, but I
    don't know if he personally did.

    Hope this helps.

    Subject:  Mary Bennett

    Can anyone out there identify Mary Bennett, the Lipton Tea Lady on Inner
    Sanctum as a real character? I have never been able to find any other acting
    credit for her, and it seems unlikely she was simply a Lipton employee, with
    such skilled repartee with "Mr. Host"!

    		We had him at a SPERDVAC meeting where he spoke about Doorway
    to Live.
    Also I looked him up in the Goldin Index.
