Subject:  Re: Grant's [removed]

Someone posted:

:> "By the way, who is buried in Grant's tomb?"

To which the correct answer, of course, is "nobody" -- because no one is ever
BURIED in a TOMB! For the benefit of anyone who might not know (don't laugh
-- for all we know, there may be a few eight-year-olds lurking on this list!
LOL!) all tombs are strictly ABOVEGROUND interment structures. The "Grant's
Tomb" thingy is a Trick Question.  :)

The fruit frost report can be heard at the beginning of Robert
Towne's recreation of Depression-era Los Angeles, ASK THE DUST
(2006), adapted from John Fante's 1939 autobiographical novel.

I don't think I'm going to be the only person to chime in by the time this
posting reaches the Digest, but Mae West was not on the Chase and Sanborn
Program the evening WOTW was broadcast. Madeline Carroll was the scheduled
guest. A recording of that show does exist. It was a highlight of a Radio
Spirits disc set some time ago.

In the late 1990's, railroad historian Curtis L. Katz completed
months of painstaking research, having reviewed vintage editions of
The Official Guide of the Railways and literally boxes of 1940's rail
timetables. He was able to prove that a Sante Fe "Daily Motor" train
did go through Anaheim, Azusa, and Cucamonga in 1949, but did not in
1945 when Mel Blanc first uttered that famous announcement. Katz
published his factual findings in the Feb/Mar 1999 issue of Nostalgia
Digest & Radio Guide. Not one person challenged his conclusions.

His historical piece was re-published in the Winter 2000 issue of
Classic Trains, whose readership includes countless railroad
historians and none of them challenged his factual conclusions.

A brief summary of Katz's piece was published in the Oct 2009 issue
of RADIO RECALL and not a single reader challenged his facts.

I then posted his conclusions on the Old Time Radio Digest and
suddenly out of the woodwork, came a host of detractors, who without
even a smidgen of contrary evidence, posted their denials on the
Digest, along the lines of "Well, that ain't the way I remember it,
sonny." The chief qualifications of these doubting Thomas' appears to
be that they either lived in California or could recognize a train.

Well, I'm from Missouri, so the next Digester who wishes to deny
Katz's established facts by merely relying on their hazy memories,
[removed] me! (And unless their proof includes specific
citations from The Official Guide of Railways and/or 1949 timetables
of trains originating in Los Angeles Union Station, I invite the rest
of our Digesters to hit the "ignore" button.)

A free Treat for you all from Quicksilver Radio  Theater  -

-  one that's becoming a perennial, our FRANKENSTEIN: MODERN PROMETHEUS. 
(We were  honored by being picked up by WBGH as well, but had too little lead 
time to get  that word [removed])

On that site you'll find loads of other Halloween  goodies from other 
producers too, including (on location!) recreations of  THE MOST DANGEROUS GAME 
and SORRY, WRONG NUMBER.

Happy All  Hallows',
