    Subject:  Ed Gardner on ROCKY AND BULLWINKLE

    No, Ed Gardner was NOT involved with ROCKY AND BULLWINKLE Show. If you point
    out an episode that has the voice you are referring to, I can tell you who
    did the voice, since the lineup of voice actors was small for the series. As
    a fan of the series, I can identify almost every voice on the series within
    seconds. On an educated guess off the top of my head, it was probably Paul
    Frees, who did fifty percent of all the voices on the series. The entire
    series is now available on DVD in a big box set and I recommend it for those
    who love OTR. There are radio references about Mr. Keen and others, besides
    actors Walter Tetley (from THE GREAT GILDERSLEEVE) playing Sherman. And there
    are so many one-liners it's hilarious (and the show got better with each
    season. Even the final season was spectacular). My favorite is from the first
    season when Boris convinced Rocky to sell him the Mooseberry Bush for three
    dollars.
    "Hey! Wait a second," Rocky remarked. "I've never seen a three-dollar bill
    before."
    "Can I help it if you're poor?" Boris replied.

    The term "All Star Cast" is often used, but I don't think any more accurately
    than for the CBS Radio Workshop episode Son of Man.
    Introduced by Raymond Burr, read by Robert Young,Victor Jory, Herbert Marshall
    and Vincent Price, music by [removed] Bach and program arranged by Archibald
    MacLeish.
    Not to mention the subject of the story.
    I found it on the Internet Archive, CBS Radio Workshop 04/21/1957.
    Happy Easter and Passover to all,

        Dick Backus

    X-Converted-To-Plain-Text: from multipart/alternative
    X-Converted-To-Plain-Text: Alternative section used was text/plain

            I checked wikipedia, and found out that the cereal called Cheery Oats
    began in 1941.
    In 1946, there was a dispute regarding the products name, which lead to a
    lawsuit by the
    Quaker Oats company.  The Quaker company won the lawsuit, and the folks at
    General
    Mills renamed their product Cheerios.

            The product has been popular ever since and is still going strong.

            There's probably more information out there, which you can find
    through Google.

            Just a suggestion.
