"Once again, we present Our Gal Sunday, the story of an orphan girl named Sunday from the little mining town of Silver Creek, Colorado, who in young womanhood married England's richest, most handsome lord, Lord Henry Brinthrope. The story that asks the question: Can this girl from the little mining town in the West find happiness as the wife of a wealthy and titled Englishman?"

This is what greeted me every day as I arrived home for lunch. My Mother would be ironing and drinking a glass of Ginger Ale while listening to her very favorite radio daytime soap opera.

I remember all the shows you mentioned, Nancy, and loved being reminded of those happy childhood times listening to the radio with the family. Thanks for your story...

Nancy - Wow! This sure brought back a bunch of stuff from my past.

- My angry mother finding hidden, unopened bottles of Ovaltine, de-labled in order to get my 'Captain Midnight' secret code badges. Or coming home from school and listening to "Superman', 'The Lone Ranger', etc

In about an hour I will be leaving for our vacation home on the Maine Coast, and listening to episodes of 'Mr. Keen, Tracer of Lost Persons', 'Nick Carter', and 'The Shadow'. (I made these CDs from tapes I found on the internet.)

When my oldest granddaughter visits, she spends hours laughing and listening to my CD collection of 'Baby Snooks' shows.

Thanks - Sandy

I'm overwhelmed with the desire for a peanut butter sandwich, some Lipton Soup and to kick my legs under a too-tall chair while my Nana and I listen to Arther Godfrey during lunch. Thanks, Nancy.

Thanks for the trip down memory lane. Saturday afternoons found me glued to the radio listening to some of those you mentioned along with my favorite "Let's Pretend" My grandmother did her best to pry me away, trying to get me outside in the sunshine; all to no avail.

Great to read your story Nancy. It really takes me back to my childhood. I also spent time listening to baseball games. I hope you keep posting.

Thanks for enjoying and adding to the memories. Nancy

What a marvelous memory for details you have, Nancy. I'd forgotten about many of the programs. Thanks for bringing back recollections of pleasant times. Now, if I can just find my Junior G-Man badge . . .

Great post Nancy. Keep doing it. Wonderful memories. I also loved The Land of the Lost which was on before Let's Pretend on Saturday mornings, and Mr. and Mrs. North which was on, I think, on Wednesday evenings, or was that when the Lone Ranger was on? And on Monday nights, if my parents were out and my aunt was baby sitting I got to listen to The Lux Radio theatre. It was our secret.

Fibber McGee and Molly livened up life when visiting Uncle Tader's home, a mile down the road, to take a turn pasting an ear to the speaker powered by batteries in his basement. What magic!

I had forgotten Mr. and Mrs. North and The Lux Radio theatre. Do you remember Easy Aces?

Nancy, I do remember Easy Aces -- and what about "The Inner Sanctum" -- scary-- and of course, Lamont Cranston, - "The Shadow" We often listened to that on my dad's car radio on the way back from my grandmother's house each Sunday.

These posts have reminded me of a story my mother enjoyed telling of my grandparents very early response to their first radio. My grandfather was annoyed by a statement from the announcer and made a comment denigrating his information and his intelligence. My grandmother was horrified. She exclaimed, "Sam, shhhh, he'll hear you."

Was it Suspense or Innersanctem (sp) that had the squeaky door?

Remember The Shadow's scary laugh. I was never quite sure that he was the good guy.

Squeaky door was the inner sanctum. Veeeery creepy.
