1930: WHEN RADIO WAS KING
WHAT AN INCREDIBLE ESCAPE FOR THOSE OF US WHO RECALL THE MAGIC OF BROADCAST RADIO! MOM COULD READ A BOOK, DAD THE NEWSPAPER, AND WE KIDS COULD PLAY WITH OUR ERECTOR SET WHILE LISTENING TO AN INCREDIBLE NUMBER OF RADIO PROGRAMS. FROM "MR. KEENE, TRACER OF LOST PERSONS," TO "YOUR FBI IN PEACE AND WAR," TO THE "LUX RADIO THEATER," "CAPTAIN MIDNIGHT, AND OH SO MANY EXCITING BROADCASTS THAT USED THE "THEATER OF THE MIND."
I am the Hamilton Township Historian at the Hamilton Township Public Library Local History Collection. I served in "G-2;" the U.S. Army Security Agency(ASA) with a "Top Secret Codeword" ("Crypto")military clearance. I have been married 60 years in April of 2014 to Judy Britton, my class of 1951 Hamilton High school sweetheart. We have 3 children and 9 grandchildren, and one great granddaughter. I have been a member of the amateur radio community since 1975 with the call sign WA2RVU. If the good Lord wills it, I will be logging local history when I reach the golden age of 100!
