    Subject:  Captain Midnight Radio Scripts Rescued
    X-Converted-To-Plain-Text: from multipart/alternative
    X-Converted-To-Plain-Text: Alternative section used was text/plain

    Exciting news for radio historians.  582 scripts from the Captain
    Midnight radio show were rescued from being discarded.  Collector Larry
    Zdeb related the details at the Radio Premium Exchange website.

    The scripts were apparently slated for disposal originally.  They appear
    to cover virtually every one of the Ovaltine sponsored programs.
    Ovaltine sponsored the program from the Fall of 1940 through 1949.
