Interesting that they felt they could do that much more mature a series for radio in the '50s...I shall have to look into the reasoning there...Todd Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01815516018079824802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3434602314756730550.post-17966193088405406702012-10-24T13:14:50.100-07:002012-10-24T13:14:50.100-07:00Always liked Angie Dickinson.
