Pete Delaney had this show as 3-17-72 - seems to be misdated based on the article from the 6/13/72 Courier Post that Shep reads about 20min into the show. News at end refers to Tropical storm Agnes which hit Va on the 21st

"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
