    from kathy:
    while living in japan i listened to the far east network (fen) broadcast by
     armed forces radio from march 1957 to august 1960.
    there were also many segments on the history of the united states - most of
     them concerning our military history.
    peace from kathy

    Subject:  The Big Show "lost" episodes

    I'm finishing an article about the "lost" episodes of THE BIG SHOW, hosted by
    Tallulah Bankhead, and while it appears every episode from the first season
    (1950-1951) exist in recorded form, only five episodes from the second season
    (1951-1952) is known to exist. September 30, 1951, October 21, 1951, October
    28, 1951, November 18, 1951 and January 27, 1952. Does anyone have any
    episodes in their collection other than these five? I'm looking to see if
    there are any in collector hands dated beyond September 30, 1951, that most
    of us are not aware of? Please let me know off the digest. I'd like to make
    sure that the episodes I feature in the article are truly "lost" episodes.
    Many thanks in advance,
    Martin

    On the was a labor of love. I suggest that every one who has the book
    and find out about te book.

    1]  Dunning acknowledge his panel of expert "To the seven who read the
    manuscript and made it a better book by far than it might have been.
          I'm sure you will know the expert. And  gives credit wife for her
    part.

    2] an inexpressive list of credit OTR actors, writers and other who also
    took part in contributed To the first and the second book. There are
    hundreds.

    Dunning was striving for perfection or as near as he could get to it.
    Thank You John Dunning for a great  reverence Encyclopedia

    Subject:  DUFFY'S TAVERN rarities

    If anyone reads this before Monday night, I was invited to be a guest on
    Radio Once More ([removed]) Monday evening, discussing DUFFY'S
    TAVERN. And if we can pull out enough rare recordings before then, you'll
    hear Ed Gardner doing DUFFY'S TAVERN for a variety show, a year before the
    FORECAST audition of 1940. We'll be playing some rare clips, including a
    "lost" Frank Sinatra appearance on DUFFY'S, Gardner's mistake in skipping
    rehearsals on Al Jolson's program and "reads" his lines over the air, and a
    recording that has not one, not two, not three, but five celebrities make a
    guest appearance at Duffy's Tavern in the same broadcast! Some rare gems you
    probably never heard before.
    Martin
