In December we added more than a dozen new entries to the Radio Netherlands
Antique and Old Time Radio page. The latest edition has been posted on the
Radio Netherlands Web site. More than 120 Web sites around the world are
now reviewed and categorized into clubs; collections; history; links
(collections of); old time radio; dealers of parts, audio and supplies; and
other sources (not all on the Internet). A separate page lists clubs,
world-wide, not on the Internet (to the best of our knowledge). 

As the compiler of this Radio Netherlands publication, I welcome your
review and comments. Additions and updates are always welcome.

     Barry Gray, the longtime NYC radio personality who passed away on Dec.
21, is often credited with creating the radio talk show.  Of note to anyone
who is or was a comic book fan:  DC editor Julius Schwartz created the silver
age Flash's alter ego "Barry Allen" by combining the names of talk show
creators BARRY Gray (radio) and Steve ALLEN (television).  
     I remember Barry Gray once relating on-air the story of his first visit
to a Broadway play.  It was produced by the famous Mike Todd (the great love
of Liz Taylor's life) and Gray HATED the show!  Barry went on the air later
that night ranting and raving about how awful the show was.  If this was
Broadway, he proclaimed, you could keep it.  He had seen much better
productions in the hinterlands.  Mike Todd heard Gray's diatribe and the next
day the station manager told Barry that Michael Todd and called and wanted to
see the radio host NOW!  When Barry Gray arrived at Todd's office, the
promoter told the on-air personality that he had bought commercial time
during Gray's show every night and ordered Barry to pan his show each evening
just like he had the first.  In the months that followed, Gray tore the show
apart each night, and the show ran for years.  As they say in show business,
"I don't care what you say about me, just spell my name right!" -- ANTHONY
TOLLIN (who always spells his own name right).

BILL PFEIFFER    wdp@[removed]      12/24/96

Dear Bill (and mother, Mrs. Pfeiffer):

Like many readers and participants in the OTR DIGEST, I was stunned and
shocked to read the almost unbelievable and harrowing tale of what Hell
you both went through when fire overswept your home and belongings.

I hope, Mrs. Pfeiffer, that you are feeling much better now, despite the
burns and pain you suffered.

I hope, Bill, that some of the awesomeness of this devesatating occurance
at this time of the year may have lessened a bit.

I am sending you a small remembrance of the season which I hope will help
you out in this terrible time of need. I will send it to PO BOX 8746,
Springfield MO  658701 if that is correct.  It's not much, and I wish it
could be a whole lot more, but it's a little something to help, and my
feelings and thoughts go in ample supply with the letter.

Many are wondering how you are doing and if you are still able to see the
OTR DIGEST. I hope that there will be a spontaneous spirit of giving
this Christmas for both of you and from many sources.  Those of us who
work and play in OTR need to support you now in this trying period. I am
also asking the readers/contributors to do the same.

Our prayers are out here for you Bill and mother.
