    Subject:  Re: Bob Hope at Fort Belvoir

    Andrew S. has done some fine 'detective' work in
    trying to find the correct broadcast date for the
    above 1953 show (Digest #143 - he listed five content
    clues).  I haven't heard the broadcast or seen its
    script and can only add, at this time, that it should
    help somewhat if you could find the exact date Mamie
    Eisenhower was accepted as a member of the DAR (for
    example in the NY Times Index, biography on Mamie,
    Mamie Eisenhower Papers, Google searches, ....).

    There's something about this concept I like. Especially by the BB        C!

    Since this posting, it's been pointed out to me that Kenosha, WI is the
    birthplace of several OTR stars. Orson Welles' birthplace is within
    walking distance of the Kenosha Public Museum, where I will be speaking
    on the history of lady detectives. The Ameche Brothers, Jim and Don,
    also first saw the light of day in this lovely city on Lake Michigan.
    Raymond Edward Johnson was born and raised in Kenosha before he went on
    the everlasting fame at the radio microphone.

    There may be even more Kenosha natives who became big in radio, but
    we'll leave that up to Ron Sayles.

    Subject:  Advice on two Suspense books please?

    I notice that there are two books covering the Suspense radio series - one
    by Martin Grams Jr. and another by Darryl Shelton. I'm more familar with the
    one by Martin but I have never heard of the other one until now. I'm on a
    limited budget and I would like to buy a guide to Suspense, has anyone read
    Mr Shelton's book and can they tell me how it compares to Mr Grams' book
    please?

    Many thanks,
    Charles Salt

    Subject:  Dennis Jackson (aka Peter Tripp)

    Dennis Jackson (aka deejay, Peter Tripp), owner of several small FMs
    around the northeast, including WCLX [removed] in Westport, NY, was
    seriously injured in a motorcycle accident in southern Utah on Friday
    ([removed]). He was airlifted to a hospital in Arizona where he is
    presently in intensive care.  His wife has asked that people refrain
    from sending cards, flowers, etc., until he is safely out of the ICU.

    Jay "Biggie" Fink is acting as intermediary between the family and
    Dennis's large circle of friends in the broadcasting community, and
    has promised further updates on Dennis's condition as it improves.

    Thanks to Garrett Wollman at Boston Radio Interest for the post.
