    The /Captain Midnight/ adventure serial was originally a syndicated
    program, sponsored by Skelly Oil, which also sponsored other
    aviation-themed radio serials.  Skelly owned Spartan Aircraft, which
    manufactured airplanes, and ran a flight school.
    /Captain Midnight/ ran for two seasons under Skelly Oil sponsorship, and
    then was picked up by Ovaltine for the Fall of 1940.  The
    Ovaltine-sponsored version had the title character recruited by a US
    Government official to head an organization to fight espionage and
    sabotage within the United States.  The new organization, the Secret
    Squadron, was featured through the rest of the programs duration, through
    1949.

    Subject:  Ken Nordine on Destination Freedom

    Folks;

       (Sorry about monopolizing the Digest [removed])

       I'm wondering if anyone here has any information about Ken Nordine (he of
    Word Jazz fame) performing on the Richard Durham-penned Destination Freedom
    program. Someone asked about the connection through the Bob Edwards website,
    and I couldn't find any listing in the credits for Nordine in the 75-ish
    programs I have. But since not everything survived of either version of the
    program, that doesn't mean he didn't perform on the program.

    Subject:  Fred Foy Memoir

    Folks;

       Received information today from Wendy Foy, daughter of announcer, actor,
    and friend Fred Foy about an awesome fundraiser to put together a museum
    display of Fred's history in radio, and The Lone Ranger program in
    particular. A book authored by Fred is being made availabe in a very limited
    numbered and signed (by Wendy) First Edition for a donation to The Wabash
    County Museum. You can get complete details, and see the First Edition's
    cover, at:
