    It is at Gate of Heaven Cemetery in Hawthorn NY which is north of NYC on  the
    west side of the Hudson.  What was distinguishing about the grave to me  was
    the ordinariness of it.  His is just in the row with lots of common  people.
    Probably the way that Portland thought he wanted it.  Just a  guess, of course.

    For baseball fans, Gate of Heaven is also where Babe Ruth is buried.

    In response to an earlier thread on battery radios, I have in my possession a
    radio that I purchased at an antique store in Grand Forks, North Dakota back
    in the seventies when I was in grad school. It was owned by a farm family that
    did not have electricity. The radio is a Coronado table radio, Model 43-6451
    made by Coronado Mfg. Co, which was a division of Gamble-Skogmo, a Minneapolis
    company. The radio was manufactured in 1946. The battery wires had been cut
    and the battery was missing, but  a few years later I found a place in
    Worcester, MA called Atom Electronics owned by an older fellow who still had
    boxes of tubes and other paraphernalia from before the transistor era. We
    couldn't find an appropriate battery, so he installed an AC power pack  which
    worked for several years. The radio does not work now because one or two tubes
    have blown and now I don't know of any places that still work on these old
    devices.

    Ah, Joe Postove, what an intro!  "Whatever happened to Peet?" begins the
    Preface of my 2008 release "Sold on Radio:  Advertisers in the Golden Age of
    Broadcasting" ([removed],
    800-253-2187).  The answer is provided in detail in the chapter focused on
    the company we know today as Colgate-Palmolive.  Here's a clue for the
    curious:  Kansas City siblings Robert and William Peet and their Peet
    Brothers Soap Company, the largest soap manufacturer west of the Mississippi
    River, launched in 1872, figured prominently in the origins of CPP.  The U.
    S. government also relied heavily on them during WWI as a principal supplier
    of glycerin, used in explosives.

    Their fascinating encounters with the B. J. Johnsons of Milwaukee (who
    developed a palm- and olive-based cleanser) in 1927 and heirs of William
    Colgate of Jersey City in 1928 are revealed.  A 37-story art deco high-rise
    tower in Chicago, the Palmolive Building, was to be the nerve center for a
    multinational operation.  Opened in 1929, it lasted just five years before
    the company consolidated in Jersey City.  The Peet appellation lasted to
    1953, but the principals were long gone, and the Johnsons were forced from
    power in 1933.  Just two-and-a-half years ago the Peets' 1872 soap-making
    plant was finally shut down and its remaining 250 employees put out to
    lather.  It's a tale in the annals of corporate radio sponsorship that bears
    repeeting.

    The April issue of RADIO RECALL will be emailed this week to
    subscribers who have elected PDF version; hard-copy fans will have to
    wait another two weeks. Here's a preview of this jam-packed [removed]

    Our front page article is "Longest Running Radio Shows" by Jim Cox,
    listing in order the shows with the longest duration, including the
    top four with over 70 years of airtime each: "Grand Ol' Opry,"
    "Mormon Tabernacle Choir," "Lutheran Hour," and "Metropolitan Opera."
    Mark Anderson reviews the latest "It's That Time Again" release from
    Bear Manor Media (17 new OTR stories, edited by Jim Harmon.) Turning
    to DVDs, Rob Farr reviews the recent releases of Kit Parker Films,
    including noir movies based upon "Counterspy", "Mr. District
    Attorney," and "Johnny Modero, Pier 23." One of these DVD sets
    contains an extensive interview with the daughter of Phillips H. Lord
    on his lengthy radio career.

    Melanie Aultman contributes an article, "Old Reels Find New Home,"
    detailing the transfer of a large OTR collection to a Florida radio
    station. Another piece summarizes the history of "Boston Blackie"
    from his pre-WW I stories and silent films to his later success in
    radio. Requirements for entering the 2009 FOTR script contest are
    also set forth. Finally there is an interesting quiz to test your
    recall of movies featured on "Lux Radio Theater."

      A recent survey of our web site reflects thousands of hits from
    viewers. Most visited RADIO RECALL articles are: "Captain Midnight
    and Decoder Rings" by Stephen Kallis (8390 hits), "The Shadow Radio
    Program" by Karl Schadow (5608 hits), "Writing for Radio" by Edgar
    Farr Russell III (4488 hits), and "It Pays To Be Ignorant" by Derek
    Tague (4033 hits.) Congratulations to these authors!

    I work for a Library system in Minnesota and work as and Inter-Library Loan
    Aide.  I see
    thousands of requests come thru each month.  We try to fill every request
    possible.  We search the entire United States, Canada and some times overseas
    to help a patron find a
    book or other materials.  Here is what to do.  Contact your Library systems
    headquarters and ask to speak to the Inter-Library Loan Department or check
    your libraries web site and place and a request.  I am confident that they
    will make every effort to help you find what your looking for.  Also be sure
    to ask if any charges are applyed to the search or loan of material.  Some
    librarys ask for a small amount to cover postage ect,  many do not.
    I hope this is of help.  Should any one have any questions please feel free to
    contact me.

    Many Thanks!

    I recently picked up a theatre poster ad for WLS veteran balladeer Bradley
    Kincaid. He was booked at the Bisby Theatre, West Winfield NY (south of
    Utica). Checking the movie that was also on the same bill ("Every Day's A
    Holiday"), I think the "Kentucky Mountain Boy" made this gig in 1938.

    Can anybody tell me if Bradley at the time was broadcasting over WGY in
    Schenetady NY? I know he did a stint there at one time.

    Thank you!

    Larry,  Dinah was a frequent guest on Bing's Shows.
    11/13/52; 11/20/52; 3/19/53; 12/27/50; 4/4/51; 10/31/51 are some of the
    dates.  Back in the tape days most dealers carried these but I'm not
    sure many were ever digitized.  McCoy recording in Washington St. used
    to have  all of these.  Also the 40's station on XM  play Bing shows
    sometime  Sunday  and on Wed at 9pm eastern.   Many be on  web?

    There is also a 1 hour Xmas Command Performance with Bing, Dinah, Bob
    Hope and many others.  Bing plays Dick Tracy and Dinah is Tess
    Trueheart.  Its a gem.

    Dunning list Dinah as being on the air quite a bit from 39 to 55 with
    her own show.  Wouldn't be surprised if Bing did match her appearances
    on his show with visits to her's. Would think her shows on much rarer
    however.

    Subject:  OTR Books

    In smaller libraries, especially, librariams have very limited funds and are
    thus reluctant to order OTR and similar special-interest or niche books
    without knowing if there are members of the congregation who actually will be
    interested in reading them.

         So if you see a review of a book you'd like to read, Xerox the review
    and take it to the library and request that it be turned over to that
    institution's purchasing committee.

         (It won't hurt anything if your sister-in-law and your second cousin are
    willing to do the same thing. <g>)

    Subject:  Cincinnati Update

    Another twist in the Cincinnati story:

    The new hotel for the OTR convention has been renamed.  It was the

    Nothing else has changed.

    Yet.
