Kat and Ken,

    You think you are old? I listened to Burns and Allen, Jack Benny and the
Lone Ranger on the radio before TV! Also listened to Amos 'n Andy which is
very politically incorrect these days. In San Antonio we had a local show
comparable to Cops, called "So You Want to be a Cop?" They raided an
abortion
mill and reported live. That has stayed with me til this day!
