    Subject:  Book reviews

    Hello All,

    I am now writing book reviews for Sperdvac's RADIOGRAM magazine on a
    freelance basis.  If you are an author of a book about OTR that has
    recently been published, or will be published soon, and would like me to
    review the book for Radiogram (and possibly Bob Burchett's OLD TIME RADIO
    DIGEST) please contact me.  If your book is being published by a
    publishing house, feel free to let me know so I can contact them for a
    review copy.

    And yes, Hal, I'll expect your check in the mail, I don't take much
    "convincing" (ie: cash) to write a glowing review.  :-)  (Just kidding

    Try Chambord (sp?) over peaches, ice cream, etc.  It's a raspberry liqueur.

    Thanks Elizabeth, I really suspected that Lindbergh did not attend
    this affair. Are there any pictures of this gala event? NBC spent
    quite a lot of money on the opening, surely someone took a picture
    or two.

    1930 - Broadcasting from "...a little theatre off Times Square,"
    according to the show's introduction, The First Nighter was first heard.
    The program, which actually originated from Chicago, then from
    Hollywood, aired for 23 years and featured dramas and comedies.

    As another one of the hundreds of fans who knew and loved him, I too grieve
    for Parley.  At the same time I am elated with the good news about Bob
    Hastings recovery progress.  There are far too few of these wonderful people
    left.

    I also am writing to request some assistance.   I am looking for copies of
    ROGERS OF THE GAZETTE (starring Will Rogers, Jr.)  in either MP3 or cassette.
    Will trade or buy.  I can't seem to find it anywhere.  I'm sure it exists
    (Jay's marvelous reference says so)!  Also is there anyone out there who would
    like to exchange otr scripts?  I'm tried of transcribing them by hand.  thanks
    and I hope everyone has a safe , happy and healthy Thanksgiving,   Gary Yoggy

    The dealers room is sold out for the convention.
    Some of our regular dealers wanted an extra table.
    They have been loyal to our convention and have
    first pick if there are extra tables available.
    I will start a waiting list if someone cancels.
    I now have a flyer that gives basic information about
    the hotel, map, and dates. (April 11-12, 2003)

    Here is a chance for someone (or some people) to expand OTR in a new venue.
    Please respond to Bob if you can help.  He has been doing his festival as
    long as FOTR has been having conventions.  Jay

    The NTCMA (National Traditional Country Music Assn) is
    in the process of moving it's festival from Avoca,
    Iowa, to larger quarters in Missouri Valley, Iowa.
    Dates being Aug 25-31.  We are devoted to the
    preservation and performance of old-time acoustic
    music, with many varieties of the music represented.
    Since we have larger quarters and an open mind, we'd
    like to extend an invitation to anyone in old-time
    radio that might have any ideas on expanding your own
    interests via one of our stages during our festival.
    We're open to anything that might let all of us know
    the importance of radio, especially in music, from the
    past. Our website is [removed], and
    our e-mail is bobeverhart@[removed]  Looking forward
    to hearing from anyone that might be able to help us
    expand old-time radio interest here in the Midwest.
    Bob Everhart
