Many, many moons ago, I promised to share the opening lines of all 78 Bold
Venture episodes. The show was syndicated by Frederic W. Ziv (no consistent
air dates) so there was no other way to catalogue the episode number unless
you skipped past the opening theme and went to the first
few words of dialogue. It's taken us awhile to transfer all 78 original
master tapes because each tape, recorded at 30-ips, might have 20-faulty
edits, but it's finally done. Stay tuned for when these recordings might be
made available. In the meantime, here they
are--transcribed from the original tapes--promise kept:

Jack,
Will the speech be recorded for those of us who won't be able to travel to
hear you in person?
Best,
