TRIVIA ANSWER:<\/span><\/b> In 1949, our family moves into a brand new white frame house in probably one of the very first sub-divisions far southwest of Dallas, TX. We are way out in the country. Soon, dad buys us a new 17″ Truetone table model TV set from Western Auto which is a giant screen back then. Can remember seeing the very first I Love Lucy<\/i> show in 1951. One of my favorite TV shows is Boston Blackie<\/i> starring Kent Taylor as Boston, Lois Collier is Mary, Frank Orth is Inspector Farraday plus Whitey their doggie. Boston Blackie<\/i> is a syndicated detective cop series that airs from 1951-53 with 58 exciting 30-minute episodes. <\/span><\/p>\n

I also worked in Austin, Beaumont, Bryan and Laredo, Texas, Tulsa, Oklahoma, Little Rock, Arkansas and Baton Rouge, Louisiana! You should post your Radio career timeline maybe on your 50th (anniversary-2014), I know it would be interesting! Keep Tuned! Thanks and take care! Robert Tindle<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n
