Comments

• Based on the info Shep gives the Alaska show is from October 1970. He refers to the August 22, 1970 show and recaps some of the stories. He also mentions receiving a letter mailed "about a month ago on September 11th". Lastly he refers to the premier of J.S. America coming next April. Also due to the length of the show, 45:36 and still going strong when it's cut off, I suspect it may have been a Saturday show.

"Can you imagine 4,000 years passing, and you're not even a memory?
Think about it, friends. It's not just a possibility. It is a certainty." - Jean Shepherd - 1975
