Subject:  Lucille Ball's 100th birthday

I was delighted to hear about Gregg Oppenheimer's plans to honor Lucille Ball
on her 100th birthday. For those of you who can't make it to New York that
day, you're invited to hear our four-hour salute to Lucy on "Those Were the
Days" (1-5 pm CST) as we hear her on "Suspense," "My Favorite Husband," "Mail
Call" (with Laurel and Hardy), "Leave It To The Girls" and even an attempt to
bring "I Love Lucy" to radio.

And of course, "I Love Lucy" is the subject of the cover story in the Summer
issue of Nostalgia Digest. Information about the magazine and the show can be
found at [removed].
