    I've got a doozy that has haunted me for three decades now. Back in the late
    70s, I lived in LA and enjoyed the OTR played on KNX every night at 9pm. One
    evening, I heard an episode of (I'm pretty sure) "Quiet Please," where the
    story was a man who was obsessed with a woman, and all he wanted to do was
    watch her-he had no desire to make contact in any way. That's all I
    remember, other than I found it one of the most striking dramatic stories
    I'd heard to that point, and it remains one of my Top 5 in terms of the
    effect it had on me. I would love to find this story again. Can any of the
    powerful brains out there in OTRLand help me?

    Have appreciated reading the dates for two performances of this great
    Whistler drama. But what is the date for my favorite version with Joseph
    Kearns and Mary Jane Croft? I had 9/11/49 but now I'm told that is the date
    for
    the Frank Nelson one. Anyone know the Kearns date?
