Meet Ed Walker In Person

Ed will be at the Mid-Atlantic Nostalgia Convention, September 13-15, at the Clarion Hotel in Aberdeen Maryland. He's promised to bring lots of old-time radio stories and even a few Joy Boys CDs. There will be lots of other TV and radio celebrities and events too. Just click for more information.

This month we've added lots of new stories and pictures. On our Pictures page, photos of Willard, the Today Show crowd, and Ed Walker's surprise birthday party (held in DC earlier this year).

On the History page, we have new items on two famous WRC characters, Morgan Beatty and Carleton Smith, and some news clippings from the early Joy Boys days. We've also updated the Eddie Leonard and Kennedy Ludlam stories. Plus lots of letters from you, the listeners, in our Tales department.

And don't forget that we are now up to 117 Joy Boys CDs available through this web site! For samples, check our Audio and ALLCLIPS pages.

And please keep those cards, letters, and tapes coming!
