Not what you were asking for, but interesting:
Work on a MUSICAL version of the books has been proceding apace, and
there's already been a few readings of the new play.
What's kind of fun, I think, is that the teleseries' Melissa Gilbert,
has been playing the Mom.
The production is looking towards Broadway, for this season, or [removed]

Hi all,
I suppose it's time that I chimed in about what happened to [removed]
I was laid off a couple of weeks ago - right after I returned from a
wonderful trip to the REPS Convention.
I'm not really allowed to say anything about what happened or why, but it
does seem clear that they are trying to sell Radio Spirits. I do hope that
someone worthy takes up the torch.
Sadly, I don't think that there's much hope that I'll be able to find
another OTR related job. Meanwhile, I continue to read the Digest and
listen to the modest amount of OTR that I have been able to collect over
the past several years.
My best to everyone,
Karen Lerner

Yes, I got one of the decoders. I'm not sure where it is now, but
opportunities to use it disappeared shortly after I joined and got
it.

She may have been born in 1867, but she lived until 1957! It's not at
all impossible that she did a radio interview at some point. I don't
know for certain if she did or not. I vaguely seem to recall hearing
something of that sort at some point. But, I'm not at all certain; and
not sure where.

Yes, I remember Charles Lane. My first memory of the man was as
the accountant in "It's A Wonderful Life" who told Mr. Potter off by
defending the hero, George Bailey. IMHO, no one could have played that
particular role other than Charles Lane. Many of the other roles I remember
him in were basically as crotchety old fussbudget type men. He was an
excellent character actor, and one of the few actors who could take a small
part and not only make it memorable, but make it his own.
His age at the time of his death, I believe, was 102 years old.

I am trying to find any information about the radio programs my aunt was in.
She passed away this Dec 2006 at the age of 94. We are having a memorial
service for her July 30, 2007. I am trying to gather any information I can
get for her memorial.
I've found a resume that shows she was in:
Stepmother
It Can Be Done
Kitty Keene
Judy and Jane she was suppose to have played Jane
Trouble with Marriage
Carters of Elm Street
Milky Way Winners ???do you know what that was?
She played Joyce in Captain Midnight. She was in Blondie's Lucky Day
(movie) She was suppose to be involved in a program that Johnnie Neblett
did, I think it was Weird Tales.
One website shows, she was in a whole bunch of The Great Gildersleeve, I
can't find any information on the cast list. Some where out on the internet
there was mention of Ma Perkins.
I am trying to find any memorabilia related to her career in radio. Audio,
scripts, photos, newspaper articles etc. Also any info as a couple with Wyn
Orr or Johnny Neblett.
She was married to Wyn Orr, I believe in June 1935.
She was married to Johnnie Neblett, don't know the date, late 1945 or early
1946. He died in a plane crash.
She was married to James Dudley, sportscaster in 1950.
Do you know where I can get a nice copy of her resume? The one I found, was
on the Whistler's site on the internet.
Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated.
Helen
