How Shep came to New York
By: David P. Allen
Contributing Editor, emeritus, Videography Magazine
In 1981 I went to the National Association of Broadcasters convention in Las Vegas in my role as a Contributing Editor of Videography Magazine. In that year the annual luncheon speaker for the Engineering Luncheon was Jean Shepherd. That the engineers should choose Shepherd as the after dinner speaker was not as farfetched as you might think, for Shepherd was, among other things, an amateur radio operator, call sign K3ORS.
As you might expect, his after dinner speech was formatted like his radio program on WOR. What works well deserved to be duplicated.
I, for many years, listened to Shepherd on local radio station WBUR, who carried his rebroadcast at midnight. The procedure I used was to set my recorder to make an automatic copy and then play it back during my drive to Boston. So, as you can see, I was a devoted fan.
I could not let the moment pass without letting him know, in person, of the devotion with which he was viewed by many in the audience at the luncheon.
Hale fellow well met and the bottom line was a gracious invitation to bend our mutual elbows at the bar of the Hilton Hotel later that evening. I was joined by two other sycophants who also were in the audience. They came with credentials of being broadcast engineering and also radio amateurs.
So, the four of us sat and drinked in the occasion listening to the garrulous Shepherd take us on a mini-spin along the never ending trail of his broadcasting.
Then, Shepherd did the unexpected and relayed to us a story of his that was most unanticipated. Using the format well known, he began a monologue which included a story of how it was that an announcer in a Cincinnati radio station happened to come to New York.
It all happened in 1955 when the NBC network was looking around for a new replacement on the tonight Show. The Tonight Show already had quite a following having been started by Steve Allen and it turned out that there were more than enough people up watching television after the 11 o'clock news to make a very valuable program. When Allen quit because enough is enough he caught NBC flat footed and without a suitable replacement. They pulled in the Sports Announcer from the Today show who carried on as best he could, but the audience voted with their feet, and the Tonight show was in danger of total collapse. So in this atmosphere the programmers at NBC looked around for a replacement to Steve Allen. They sent out their bird dog looking around for an appropriate person with a garrulous nature and one who was quick on his feet and could keep his head above water no matter what the
temperature.
Someone said there was a guy operating as a staff announcer at WLW radio in Cincinnati that showed promise and why not go take a look.
The bird dog went swiftly to Cincinnati and holed up in a hotel room with a radio. Thus it was that Jean Shepherd came to NBC's attention. They met again on the telephone and immediately decided that they might have their candidate for Steve Allen's replacement.
The next day the bird dog introduced himself wholly unexpectedly to the amazed Shepherd. Told the story in nutshell and made an offer on the spot. Shepherd was completely swept up by the unexpected which was taking him from Cincinnati to New York. But there was a teeny, tiny caveat in the offer. There was another chap who NBC had, but a promised prime time venture was turning out going nowhere. NBC had an obligation to make an overture to this person who they had stolen from CBS but in the event, there seemed he would be little charmed by an offer for a program spot after the Eleven O'clock News. It was anticipated that he would turn down flat an offer to be the Tonight show host. The game plan went like this: 1. Offer the Tonight Show to the guy who would turn it down flat. 2. Then the Tonight Show would go to Shepherd.
Over on CBS there was another chap operating who claimed the hour from noon to 1pm. This fellow I knew well for I was working for a new TV station and we were so poor that we had no news department and consequently carried CBS at the time when almost everybody was busy making money. To say that the person was a hole-filler on CBS was a complete understatement.
That person was Jack Paar and he already had enough talent to draw him away from CBS to NBC where they were planning a prime time program which would use his talents.
Alas, the best plans of mice and men..... the prime time venture turned out to be smoke and mirrors, leaving NBC with a potential star and no place to put him. The contract Paar negotiated with NBC contained a section that committed NBC to trying to find someplace to put Paar that was mutually agreeable.
Paar was now a bit pissed off by NBC's action but he looked around and saw that among his options the one from NBC still offered him a chance to make the big time on his own. He said "yes" to the NBC offer.
So certain had been NBC that Paar would turn down the offer, that they brought Shepherd to New York pending the announcement of the new Tonight show host. Alas, the announcement was that Jack Paar would be the new host..... and the rest is history.
Shepherd was ensconced in a New York hotel and several weeks later connected with WOR.... and the rest is history. |

[Gene B] Just listening to Shep Jeff's 4/2002 CD set, WOR 11C, dated 3/26/60 (about the 11th one on the disc.). About 36 minutes in. Shep says he was in the radar camp located next to West Palm Beach. I just checked my printout of Camp Murphy (radar camp, now Jonathan Dickinson State Park) web page, which says, "...located twelve miles south of Stuart on U.S 1 HWY." The google map for West Palm Beach shows Stuart just to the north of West Palm Beach. (Atlantic coast just east of Lake Okeechobee) For me this pretty well confirms that Shep was indeed at Camp Murphy. |

A portion of this episode was played again on June 21, 1961 during a 9th anniversay show featuring highlights of the panels favorite moments. This one was selected by panelist Bess Meyerson.
According to David Schwartz at Game Show Network on 11-19-2001:
Jean first appeared on the I've Got a Secret broadcast of 8/31/60. A segment was included on the 9th anniversary show broadcast of 6/21/61.
Unfortunately the 1960 show does not exist in our inventory. We just aired the 1961 episode this past weekend.
I wrote back:
Thanks for the information, but I am positive that the full show was played on GSN during "Black and White Sunday" a few years ago. You sure about the date?
I remember seeing the anniversay show, but it did not show the whole 'guess the secret' segment, only the actual "head thumping" portion. |

[Gene 02-01-06] I was surprised to see you question where the Susan Kiplinger article of 12/1/60 comes from. I have it noted as from the Village Voice, and looking at the repro of the article from Pete's collection on your Television/WOR page for 1960, the style looks like the Voice to me. One of his night people columns, "Trouble in Beruit", which I have an original of, has the same type face for the headline (although one is in Roman, the other in Italic), and the byline typeface is the same. |

From some Friday in June 1961, Jean talks about demonstrators, from the US to potato farmers in France, shares some street scenes from Times Square, and talks about the tornado that hit the steel mill. From the Fratelli collection |

Notes from website: lambertville-music-circus.org
"Destry Rides Again"
Music and Lyrics by Harold Rome - Book by Leonard Gershe
Based on the play "Arms and the Man" by George Bernard Shaw
Opened April 23, 1959 at the Imperial Theater (New York) and ran for 472 Performances.
Performed at the Music Circus July 25 thru August 6, 1961
Synopsis
In the wide-open town of Bottleneck, Gambler Kent has Judge Slade in his pocket to help him take over the town. And his ace in the hole is the duplicitous Frenchy, who provides the needed distraction to help Kent fleece landowners of their property. After murdering the sheriff, Kent appoints town drunk Washington Dimsdale to take his place. 'Wash' promptly goes on the wagon and sends for Thomas Jefferson Destry, Jr., the son of the ferocious and legendary peace officer Tom Destry. Tom Destry Jr. turns out to be a disappointingly easygoing type who's opposed to the use of firearms and relies instead on hilarious exemplary tales with rather grim morals. However, he proves quite adept at this work, whether it be intimidating would-be lawbreakers with extravagant sharp-shooting exhibitions or making the troublesome, Frenchy , fall in love with him. |

VINTAGE TV GUIDE - AUGUST 25, 1962 - LAWRENCE WELK (25 August 1962 was a Saturday the guide was for August 25 - 31, 1962) assuming this weeks TV Guide is accurate the date of the show had to be the second half of August either August 20th - 24th, or August 27th - September the 1st, 1962).
Max here: since TV Guide dates the issues well in advance of release dates, if anything, the show date could be from the week earlier, not later - hence my strike-out above. |

Further evidence of 1963 - Shep says "Mets win, Yankees lose". (Yankees won 6-4, Mets lost 2-0)
This happened in 1963, the reverse was true in 1964. In 1963 (4/24), both the Yankees and Mets were playing the Chicago teams. In 1964, the Mets were off on 4/22.
Confirmation of 1963 as the year - the show ends at midnight, followed by Long John. The show went to 10:15 in Feb of 1964. |

Exception to what Shep said - Kofax struck out only once, not twice in an August 17th game where everything seems to match up. August 17th was a Saturday, but Shep was only on Mon-Fri in 1963. Monday the 19th would have been the next broadcast. Since he was speaking as if it was still fresh in his mind I don't think he would have mentioned it past Monday the 19th. |

Notes from Eric Matthews:
Incomplete theme
File length = 44:46
Show must be from late July or August - Shep references the "second astronaut" as well as "Mercury Control". This would make the show dated after Gus Grissom's flight in Liberty Bell 7 July 21, 1961. The Palisades Park commercial means the show must be from before Labor Day.
Anyone with info on the free concerts at Palisades Park may be able to narrow down the date; besides the 30-cent admission, the ad mentions the Crystals appearing on Saturday and Ruby and the Romantics on Sunday

Show Notes |
Maude Muller
by John Greenleaf Whittier
Maud Muller, on a summer's day,
Raked the meadows sweet with hay.
Beneath her torn hat glowed the wealth
Of simple beauty and rustic health.
Singing, she wrought, and her merry glee
The mock-bird echoed from his tree.
But, when she glanced to the far-off town,
White from its hill-slope looking down,
The sweet song died, and a vague unrest
And a nameless longing filled her breast--
A wish, that she hardly dared to own,
For something better than she had known.
The Judge rode slowly down the lane,
Smoothing his horse's chestnut mane.
He drew his bridle in the shade
Of the apple-trees, to greet the maid,
And ask a draught from the spring that flowed
Through the meadow across the road.
She stooped where the cool spring bubbled up,
And filled for him her small tin cup,
And blushed as she gave it, looking down
On her feet so bare, and her tattered gown.
"Thanks!" said the Judge, "a sweeter draught
From a fairer hand was never quaffed."
He spoke of the grass and flowers and trees,
Of the singing birds and the humming bees;
Then talked of the haying, and wondered whether
The cloud in the west would bring foul weather.
And Maud forgot her briar-torn gown,
And her graceful ankles bare and brown;
And listened, while a pleasant surprise
Looked from her long-lashed hazel eyes.
At last, like one who for delay
Seeks a vain excuse, he rode away,
Maud Muller looked and sighed: "Ah, me!
That I the Judge's bride might be!
"He would dress me up in silks so fine,
And praise and toast me at his wine.
"My father should wear a broadcloth coat;
My brother should sail a painted boat.
"I'd dress my mother so grand and gay,
And the baby should have a new toy each day.
"And I'd feed the hungry and clothe the poor,
And all should bless me who left our door."
The Judge looked back as he climbed the hill,
And saw Maud Muller standing still.
"A form more fair, a face more sweet,
Ne'er hath it been my lot to meet.
"And her modest answer and graceful air
Show her wise and good as she is fair.
"Would she were mine, and I to-day,
Like her, a harvester of hay:
"No doubtful balance of rights and wrongs,
Nor weary lawyers with endless tongues,
"But low of cattle, and song of birds,
And health, and quiet, and loving words."
But he thought of his sisters, proud and cold,
And his mother, vain of her rank and gold.
So, closing his heart, the Judge rode on,
And Maud was left in the field alone.
But the lawyers smiled that afternoon,
When he hummed in court an old love-tune;
And the young girl mused beside the well,
Till the rain on the unraked clover fell.
He wedded a wife of richest dower,
Who lived for fashion, as he for power.
Yet oft, in his marble hearth's bright glow,
He watched a picture come and go:
And sweet Maud Muller's hazel eyes
Looked out in their innocent surprise.
Oft when the wine in his glass was red,
He longed for the wayside well instead;
And closed his eyes on his garnished rooms,
To dream of meadows and clover-blooms.
And the proud man sighed, with a secret pain,
"Ah, that I were free again!
"Free as when I rode that day,
Where the barefoot maiden raked her hay."
She wedded a man unlearned and poor,
And many children played round her door.
But care and sorrow, and child-birth pain,
Left their traces on heart and brain.
And oft, when the summer sun shone hot
On the new-mown hay in the meadow lot,
And she heard the little spring brook fall
Over the roadside, through the wall,
In the shade of the apple-tree again
She saw a rider draw his rein,
And, gazing down with timid grace,
She felt his pleased eyes read her face.
Sometimes her narrow kitchen walls
Stretched away into stately halls;
The weary wheel to a spinnet turned,
The tallow candle an astral burned;
And for him who sat by the chimney lug,
Dozing and grumbling o'er pipe and mug,
A manly form at her side she saw,
And joy was duty and love was law.
Then she took up her burden of life again,
Saying only, "It might have been."
Alas for maiden, alas for Judge,
For rich repiner and household drudge!
God pity them both! and pity us all,
Who vainly the dreams of youth recall;
For of all sad words of tongue or pen,
The saddest are these: "It might have been!"
Ah, well! for us all some sweet hope lies
Deeply buried from human eyes;
And, in the hereafter, angels may
Roll the stone from its grave away! |

[Lowell Thelin - Shep Group Post - April 29,2000 - Message # 2433]
This clip always got to me. It's about Shep's view of man as a machine.
It's from a show dated 11-2-65 and is available in Schmidco. It's not
specifically about the origin of Shep's style, but somehow it has struck me
that this "is" Shep's view of man, and that this view certainly must have
affected his style and philosophy profoundly.
Notice that I left in the "umms" and "ahs," or at least the spacing. I
even thought that this was significant! I'm guess I'm trying to make text
sound like the voice- complete with the spacing and nuance he used on radio.
I've always thought that Jean Shepherd in print is never quite the same as
Jean Shepherd thinking and talking on the air. This is as close as I can get
to a radio show in print.
One way or another or somehow, what we all get bugged by is an attempt
to somehow express the inexplicable...whatever that is. You know... the
little things - a little Brillo pad of something down inside each one of us.
And I suspect that some people's Brillo pad gets rusty very early in life and
it begins to fall apart. You know how Brillo pads fall apart?... you see them
dissolve in the sink, and they finally go down the drain and that's the end
of it? Well some Brillo pads that were born with that little Brillo pad
cussedness...that little... well I suppose you could call it... you know it's
been called many things - millions of things... almost every age has another
way of calling this thing that's inside each human being. They've tried to
define it. At one point they called it the soul. Other people call it the
essential you... the essential being. The Oriental religions have about nine
different definitions of it , but it's that thing... and you know what I'm
talking about. It's hard to [say] without saying that! That sounds like a
copout to people when you say "Well you know what I'm talking about", but you
do! You know, you really do. It's that thing inside of you that as you walk
down the street... and you're just alive, and the sun is shining or the sun
is not... just a day, and you are actually a living walking around machine
converting food, converting air, converting various other things... the
sunshine... into a kind of kinetic energy.
You're a transformation machine, just like a motor. When you pour
gasoline into a motor, and it sucks a little air into it, and you add a
little electricity to it, it turns over and fires and it begins to create
this action... this energy, this thing that it spins... this flywheel and the
driveshaft, and it moves things. We're all doing that. We're an engine. You
know we really are! Whether we like it or not we are converting food; we are
converting sunshine and air and light. Things we see, things we feel...we're
converting all these things into some kind of energy...some kind of energy.
We've never been able to quite define what that energy is, and what it should
do... what that machine that we've got... why it's running. It's easy to see
why automobile engines are running. It's easy to see because they're making
the wheels go round, and the wheels take people around and that's the end of
it. We know this or at least we think we... although I doubt whether any
automobile engine if closely questioned... If any automobile engine could
talk, and was asked why he existed, I doubt whether he could comprehend, [if
he] would even... He would say "I don't know!" because he does not believe
in carrying people around. He says "Is this all I'm good for?... driving
along Route 6... driving along the freeway?"
Well, so ultimately we've got the same problem, you know... And
everybody who is converting all this junk in his mind ...the food comes in.
You know ...you eat just about as much food say as... name a great thinker of
our world or a great doer of our world. You eat and devour and convert into
energy as much food as let's say.... let's say Bertrand Russell does,
probably more. You see the world. You're just as much a part of the world as
he is, and you observe it and feel about it. And I think what frustrates most
people is the sense that, whatever that flywheel they've got inside them,
...this thing... has never been hooked on to anything. HaHah! It's never...
It's just running and it's an infuriating thing!
And so somebody says "Well, get a job!" All right. So he goes down and
he gets a job at the bolt and nut factory, and he hooks his machine into that
business. And there he is right there again, you know. He has no vested
interest in bolts and nuts, and his machine just runs! And I think this is
why artists often have trouble comprehending the walkin' around guy. Because
artists are utilizing their machine in their own way, whereas the walkin'
around guy ...his machine is just running "chi chi ka chung chi chi ka chung
chi chi ka chung chi chi ka chung." And so you have poems about the hell
bound train. You do!
And so large numbers of people, on the one hand, will believe that if
their machine runs cool and nice, and if it doesn't run over other people's
machines, that they will receive their just rewards ...after they're gone to
that great graveyard of rusted machines. And then the great machine of all
will hook them up to some kind of cosmic flywheel, and they will be connected
into some kind of cosmic powerbelt, and they will be finally at home running
their machine and running it properly! Then, on the other hand, you find
large numbers of people who won't concede that because they like the way
their machine is running! And they prefer to believe that this is the best of
all possible worlds for human machines. And I'm talking about the human
machine ... not in the sense of automation and so on. I'm talking about him
as a carbohydrate, protein, and/or (slash) converting machine that converts
one kind of energy into another type. That is really what a machine is.
And so, being a machine, we're probably the only machine ever that has
this little thing inside of him that says "You got to get on the stick!
You're lousing around! You're just fooling around! For crying out loud, get
on the ball!" And so what we have to do is ultimately sit in great audiences
and watch other machines do real things. At least we can pretend they are,
and so we read novels written by other machines about great machine lives
...great machines that have had fantastic conflict[s] and have finally
resolved them. We sit in movies. We watch other great machine moments when
this machine chick meets this machine guy, and they do things that none of
the real machines ever do. They just walk around and sit and watch, and so
we finally, eventually, ultimately, I suspect, will be converted into a great
audience where even we will become dissatisfied with the humans we see on the
screen because we won't believe that anymore. And ultimately we'll have to be
content, I suppose, with watching actual machines make the scene, because if
there's anything we believe in, it's machines ...real machines, I mean real
ones! Infallible!
How many commercials have you seen recently that say "Untouched by human
mind"? In fact there's one insurance company that comes on TV with a big shot
of a lot of machines and it says "We have finally eliminated the troublesome
human factor in contemplating your needs for the future - your hopes and your
desires. It's all done now by this big IBM computer that does away with that
unreliable human factor related to dreams, ambition, and the future." Yes,
indeed! IN HOCH EVICULAR KONK. Wait till the first machine runs for alderman,
then we're in business! |

Rudy was not good at all in the "naming shows" department. All the boxes had little typed labels on the spine for each show - such classics as "What Year Is It? (was this a title or a query? - I still don't know!) or "Say It For all of Us Shep!")
At the time when I first put them on cassette I was overwhelmed and never got to listen to a lot of the shows, like most of the Limelights. Your title is probably as good as any. It would be good to have some consistency as they proliferate around the web however.
Maybe we should take a cue from the Vic & Sade people - a "First Line" index - where the first spoken words are used to tell one "Radar" show from another. It would also help identify reruns, of which I suspect there are many more than we imagine. |

In this morning's MB repeat from April 1966, Shep mentioned that he got a letter asking him to look at the ad on page 106 of the Sunday Times Magazine. The listener wrote, "The sword is more of a bullwhip than a bullwhip, Dad."
On my lunch hour toady at my new job I went to a nearby library and found the ad on icrofilm.
It was an ad for a bra company. There was a sexy model wearing a bra who was also wearing a high 19th century Russian Cossack hat, a stereotype Russian mustache and a pair of bushy eyebrows. She was also holding a huge sword. |

News at end mentions East coast event -
Yahoo News - April 25, 1966: This brilliant exploding meteor passed northward over New Jersey and eastern New York into Canada along a flat trajectory. Observations were analyzed by both U.S. and Canadian experts, who determined that the end point of the meteor's visible path was at an altitude of around 9 miles (15 kilometers) near Huntingdon, Quebec. Canadian astronomers B.A. McIntosh and J.A.V. Douglas noted, "The anticlimax of so spectacular an event is surely the failure to recover meteorites ... Much of the possible fall area is either sparsely populated or unfavorable terrain for recovery." They suggest that part of the meteoritic mass may have come down in the rugged Adirondack Mountains, along the trajectory but before the end point. |

Original date on this show of 7/1/66 is wrong. LL was only on Saturday. It is a rerun from a prev LL show as Shep introduces it saying he is on Vacation.
Shep was in Middle East late May 1966 to about June 5.
My guess is rerun date is 5/28/66 since other shows have been accounted for for the other weeks he was away. |

I'm comparing the Ardis version of this show to Dictaphone. The Ardis version has a commercial for Mandarin House dropped in at 48:28, then picks up where it left off. Dictaphone also has an ID at the end not on Ardis.
There is also a Rudy version that has the end of Hootenanny at the top, it runs straight through the commercials and news, and the Shep total portion runs 1:29:29 (plus the Hootenanny at the top). Also has Sandy Lesberg plug and partial Palisades cmml after show. And the sound is better - really nice in fact!
It makes me wonder if the Ardis tape is misdated, but then from when?? As I recall they all were dated on the orig cassettes, so where did the drop-in come from?? |

[Jim] Begins with last half of 6/4/66 show which was a rerun of a previous show (Shep was away in Middle East) and ends with first half of 6/11/66 show. Shep has the audience chant the station break at ~20min. This was inserted for Boston rerun. |

Show is ~44:06 - I thought KFRC shows were longer.
Right after the theme Shep is mumbling aloud and mentions "this is Thursday" - July 4 was Tuesday.
At about 14:28 Shep gives the station ID - "Speaking of worms, this is WOR AM and FM in New York"
He has a rather confusing conversation with Leigh about appearing this week somewhere, but does not commit to either the Village Rally or New Hope Rally both of which he mentions and does appear at later in the month - 7/31 (Village Rally) and August 13/14 (New Hope)
Trying to find a Thursday show close in relation to these dates, we have no WOR show for 7/14/66. Was this positively ID'd as a KFRC show? |

Flick's Tongue
Record #: 737 |
Technical |
The January 28, 1968 show was recorded by me. It came off a reel of 1968 shows so I'm sure of the year. Some show I had dated, others were marked 1/68 one of which was the Flick's Tongue show. On the 1-29-68 show (People in the news, Drunk Test...) he refers to having done the Rariton Valley Hospital Show the previous Friday (1/26) and that he has a show at Seton Hall on "this Thursday February 1st" He also talks to a caller regarding the Friday Rariton Valley Show, and about the show featuring the Dayak Curse. No mention of the date of the Dayak Curse show. It's possible he re-ran the Dayak show of April 4, 1966 on Friday night since he could not do a live studio show and be at the Rariton show at the same time. HOWEVER, how would the caller have seen the Rariton show and heard the Dayak show if both were Friday? Since January 1968 was the first month of post Limelight shows, he may have been still on for the 10:30 to midnight slot and re-ran a trimmed down version of the Dayak Curse show for the first half hour and then did the last 55 minutes live.
My conclusion - Curses was run on 4-6-66 and then re-run either Friday 1/26/68 while he was doing the Raritan Show or on Saturday in a trimmed down version. The Flick's Tongue show was done on 1/27/68 and rerun on 4-6-72 in a trimmed down version. |

According to Flick Lives, in 1968 Shep came to perform at "Stonybrook University." Actually, it's called "SUNY Stony Brook," where "Stony Brook" is two words. I should know, because I attended both the university and Shep's performance, where I made the mistake of asking my childhood idol a post-concert question he didn't like. I was shocked when he quickly dismissed me as a "turkey" in front of the audience and my date/future wife. By now, though, after 38 years of marriage, I think she agrees with him.
Also, I'm pretty sure that we actually saw him at SUNY SB in 1970, not 1968, since I didn't meet my wife until then and, as I said, we saw him there together.

This was repeated on 4-1-77 as the last WOR broadcast by Shep, ending over 20 years on the station. The theme with John Gambling chatter and the first few minutes were cut and replaced by a 'clean' theme. Later a commercial was cut and replaced by a segment of Shep calling for his salute musice and Coney Island Washboard Rondolet being played.
[Gene B]
Near the end of the tape, Shep comments about the kid trick. (And, coincidentally/ironically, about what WOR had done to him):
"Humiliated before the entire world.
They heard! I couldn’t figure out why they did it to me.
Why did they do this to me?" |

I was given a series of Shep's shows from June and July of 1968. I take it Bob Hall got married on Sunday June 30, 1968.
On the June 29th show Shep plays "Good Old Summertime' and says this is the last free day that Bob Hall will be blowing that trombone. (About 5 minutes into the show)
On the July 3rd show he brags that he is probably the only person to ever play the kazzoo at a wedding, mentioning that he just did so at a friend's wedding. (About 16 minutes into the show rightr after the commercials)
*This would be Bob Hall's wedding - Son's of the whiskey rebellion - as told to me by Dave Bogart from the group.]
"Memorably, he played a lot of jew's harp at Bob Hall's wedding reception in 1968; maybe some kazoo, too." [9-28-2002 - Dave Bogart] |

Max played this show in May 2003
The show Max played had a false beginning. Right after the theme it cuts to the Bumpus show which is about 11 minutes into the actual full show. This show has the real opening and about 8-10 more minutes of Shep talking before getting to the point where Max's version cuts in. The interesting part is that the commercials are cut out EXACTLY in both shows which leads me to believe that Max's may be a copy of this one except for the opening segment.]

Max 8-31-10:
I see there are two notes that somewhat conflict for the show today.
I'm leaning towards the March date, rather than April, due to the Rokeach (note spelling) ad for Passover (which I would assume would be coming up or just upon us at the time of broadcast).
According to http://www.theshalomcenter.org/node/1457
"A year later, on April 4, 1969, the first anniversary of Dr. King's death and the third night of Passover, the first Freedom Seder took place."
The show probably took place before this date, so late March/very early April, but not as late as the April 18 date of the Madison show. Although, going to the 1969 Live Shows page, the Madison date is listed there as March 18, not April as noted in the program notes, so this further supports the March 20 date for this broadcast. |

In this case Shep said that the article was in last Sundays New York Times. So I did a search on "New York Times Archive." I set the dates range from Jan 1 to June 31 in 1969 and entered "Margate Elephant" in the search for box. This revealed that there was only one article on March 23, 1969.

[jim] The tape heard was dated 10-10-69 and was from a Boston radio station playing it as pre-recorded. Based on Shep's comment that this is a Friday and referencing a letter about him being shown at a Mets game on Friday September 26th, the show must have aired on WOR on 10-3-69. |

I've been meaning to write you about the show this week. It's from Bob
Kaye, and the other side is 12/31/70 Talking about Greenwich Village. I
was thinking about playing that one, and still might, but it didn't start
off very well, like an idea that didn't gel on the air. I will listen to
the rest of it and see if it improves. I figured for NY eve to go with the
goods on the other side of the tape. So I checked the logs, and thought
maybe I had a better copy in the BKR (Bob Kaye Reel) set, but when I
checked it, it wasn't the same show.
I always had problems with the dates on those shows, but I copied what the
reel said (now missing, of course). But it stands to reason that the show
listed as 12/21/71 is actually 1970, and the 1/05/70 is very likely
1971. To me that makes more sense of the contents of the entire reel,
copied below.

[Ryan Priest - 1/19/2017]
I initially thought this show might be mis-dated because the story about the starling appears in a number of newspapers in January 1970. However, the commercials for ShopRite and TV Guide confirmed this was from 1971. ShopRite didn't begin its "Can-Can Sale" until 1971. Also, the TV Guide issue being advertised mentioned Flip Wilson on the cover, which indeed was from this week in 1971. I also noticed that the music used wasn't listed on your music page. I was able to identify one cut using a Google app on my phone. The second cut was from the same artist, but I haven't pinned down the title yet.
[Jim] You may be right. If the show was re-run in 1971, the commercials would have been updated. |

So I think that there was no such concert in "May 1971," as stated in the attached link, and that the caption to the picture was wrong.
The WPRB spring semester concert was scheduled to take place on February 13, 1971, per the attached pieces from the February 6 Princeton University Weekly Bulletin and the February 11 Town Topics. I suppose it might have been rescheduled because of weather or some other issue; however, I can find nothing about Shep in any Princeton publication in May 1971. |

On June 12, 1972, Mrs. Al Kaminsky was a passenger on American Airlines Flight 96 when the rear cargo door blew out with an almighty bang. The floor at the rear of the DC-10 collapsed, and panels in the cabin flew open. One of them gashed Kaminsky's face. When the plane turned back and landed in Detroit, she hesitated about jumping from the top of the escape slide; a flight attendant had to push her out. Kaminsky slipped at the bottom and cut her foot to the bone. Finally, FBI agents detained her to interrogate her, her husband, and the other passengers about being suspected terrorists. "They tried to kill me!" Kaminsky was later heard saying. |

[spiderman] I believe "Minnesota" from July 1972 can be tentatively dated - right after the station break, there is an ad for NY Jets football v. the 49ers on WOR "this Saturday". As the 1972 Jets 1st game was 9/17 & didn't play the 49ers during the regular season, this is obviously referring to a preseason game. Research shows the 1st preseason games in 1972 were played on Saturday, 8/5 - making this show (if it is, in fact, from July) broadcast on Monday, July 31.

Without Them You Would Not Have Existed - Cavemen
Record #: 779 |
Dating |
[Per Lowell] I think that the Pete Delaney date for the show in question is correct, that is, 11-21-72. Remember, (based on your note) that Shepherd made the statement that it is the day before Thanksgiving. Since the show was at 10:15 to 11:00 pm, the "day" which was two days before Thanksgiving is in all practicality over and completed! That makes his comment that it is the day before Thanksgiving plausible in my opinion for a 11-21-72 date (late at night!).
Think of it this way - If it really was within a hour or two of Thanksgiving (that is, 10:30 pm or so on 11-22-72), would any one really say that it is the "day before Thanksgiving?"
All this, of course, raises the question of the validity of the date of 11-21-72 "Without them you would not have existed." As it turns out, it was a tossup whether to date this show as 11-21-72 or 11-20-72. Perhaps, I made the wrong guess. Here is my reasoning as to why it could just as well be 11-20-72. The five inch reels of tape I got from Larry Krewer always had four shows on them - two in one direction and two more when the reels were turned over and wound back to the original reel (standard mono half track recordings). Larry's Dad, who taped these shows, always taped the second show of each side of the tape immediately after the first, with no filler audio inbetween. But when the second show was recorded, he just let the tape record through to the end and got anywhere between three to eight minutes or so of Lester Smith's 11:00 pm news after the Shepherd show at the tail end of the tape. The second show on the first side of the tape was dated as Friday, November 17th, 1972, based on the news. If the second show on the second side of the reel is convincingly dated as Nov. 22 (which I feel it is), then the first show on the second side of the reel is either Monday or Tuesday the 20th or 21st - a tossup since there is no news broadcast to nail it down. But since Pete Delaney marked the show in question as the 21st, and we can justify the "day before Thanksgiving" dilemna for that show based on my discussion above, then we can safely move "Without them you could not have existed!" to Monday, November 20th, 1972. |

Per Lowell Thelin - I checked my notes for the 11-22-72 show. "Turtle on the Runway" was one of the shows I got from Larry Krewer here in Clfton, and it also had the Lester Smith news following the show which gave me some clues. Regarding this, the New York Times stated "... there will be a break in talks Nov. 22 so Kissinger can fly to Brussels to see Indonesian President Suharto."
Lester Smith said on WOR, "He (Kissinger) is in Brussels, Belgium tonight talking with Indonesia President Suharto on supervising a cease fire...
Earlier today, Dr. Kissinger and North Vietnam top government man LeDocTow (sp?) again discussed peace terms, this time for four hours. ...the talks took place outside Paris. Talks resume tomorrow. {Implies that talks were held up during Nov. 22nd when Kissinger made his short flight from Paris to Brussels, but that Kissinger was returning back to Paris for the 23rd and that talks would continue then} My conclusion from this is that "Turtle on the Runway has to be 11-22-72.

[5/10/17 - Ryan Priest - w/o May 6-11]
I tried to do some sleuthing on the exact date of this program. I was able to determine it was a repeat of Shep's May 8, 1972 show. The commercial for TV Guide referenced an issue that is listed as May 11-18. Also, the recording I heard has a snippet of John Wingate's news at the tail end. It features a commercial for an event that will take place Monday, May 13. Wingate also teases a story about an 87-year-old man who rides his motorcycle daily. I've found some articles in newspaper archives that feature 87-year-old Earl Gregg of Ohio who rides his motorcycle around a dirt track at his home. Most papers feature it on May 7, 1974. While I can't garner an exact date from this, it can probably be narrowed to sometime during the week of May 6-11. |

The B.V.D. brand lasted for a century before it was acquired by Fruit of the Loom in 1976, and it still exists as one of that company's subsidiary brands. |

[Jim] SCHOOL DISTRICT AVERTS DEFAULT; L.I. Loans Provide Funds for Salaries and Debts - New York Times (1857-Current file). New York, N.Y.: Jan 17, 1976. pg. 14, 1 pgs
ROOSEVELT, L.I., Jan. 16 The Roosevelt School District narrowly avoided default last night because of its inability to obtain $3.6 million to pay current debts and employees' salaries.

Did the 1-30-76 Witch Doctor Chants tape have a bunch of bad sections?
Throughout the show the audio cuts in and out.
[Max]
Yes, there were many missing segments - I downloaded the FHC copy, converted to .wav and matched the level, and meticulously cut in the missing parts. Either you got the bad original, or going from MP3 to wav to MP3 doesn't work out too well. I'll have to check that out.
Don't know if you remember, but were the drop-outs only in commercials? I have actually prepared two versions of this Meyers series. I made the MP3 files from the masters, so that's why you got the bad copy. The corrected
version has been cut down for CD release, with the bad commercials removed. I'm rather surprised I didn't save an uncut copy of the repaired show - very unlike me not to. My intention was (and still is) to cut out enough commercials from these shows to get two shows on a CD. Since there is so much duplication of commercials, and they are in no way Shep-related, I thought it would be a better value to continue to offer two shows per medium, whether CD or cassette. That's why I annotated all of these shows in detail, focusing on the commercials, so that when I did the editing, at least one example of every commercial would stay in the set. The same damn John Barleycorn ad is on practically every show, even plugging a New Year's Eve party for a week or two into the new year! Since so many of these shows are reruns to begin with, and the commercials added in for 1976, I really don't think this is taking too much liberty with the material.
If I haven't already sent you those notes, I can, but bear in mind, it was more of a commercial log for me than going into great detail on the content of the shows. Not sure if there's enough detail for an actual show summary, but maybe, if it saves you any time. |

Near the end of the tape, Shep comments about the kid trick. (And, coincidentally/ironically, about what WOR had done to him):
"Humiliated before the entire world.
They heard! I couldn’t figure out why they did it to me.
Why did they do this to me?"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This show is a rerun from 4-1-68
The original theme and first few minutes were cut which had Shep referring to John Gambling. A clean copy of the theme was used and the show starts after the Gambling references.
At approx 9:28 right after station ID, the commercial is cut and a 2:13 segment is added of Shep and his salute music - "Coney Island Washboard Rondolet" |

3/27/81: Somerset County College (now called Raritan Valley Community College) live performance: Though it exists and I have hopes of someday restoring it the recording has much echo and is currently unlistenable. I dabble with audio restoration and this one I have yet to figure how to bring back. My late friend Harry recorded the same live show (see next bullet) which was of good quality, but that tape was lost. I remember other people putting recorders on near the stage, maybe somebody will come out the woodwork.... However, the good news from that night is.... Harry had a second tape rolling at the end of the concert and backstage after the show. This did survive and his family gave me after he died. Shep spins a little yarn about being Air Force, not Army attempting to point out we shouldn't believe entertainers literally. I was there too, though I didn't have the guts (or guile?) to hit the record button. A little bit of the Q&A from the end of the formal show survives, I could include that as well.

Original recording was dated 10-21-1982. Shep's book came out in Oct 1981 and on the show he references Great American 4th of July which aired 3-16/82. Hence this show must be 1981. Also the show must have been recorded on cassettes and later digitized,. It seems the sides of the tape were mixed up and the last 48 minutes of the show is actually the first 48 minutes. |

The scence where Ralphie walks into the house blind with a cane suffering from soap poisoning comes from "Lost at "C":
It was about this time that I began to fear - or perhaps hope - that I would never live to be 21, that I would die of some exotic debilitating disease. Then they'd be sorry. This fantasy alternated with an even better fantasy that if I did reach 21, I would be blind and hobble about with a white cane. Then they'd really be sorry.

I transferred the "Larry King" and "Steve Martorano" Jean Shepherd radio interviews onto my computer.
I made you a CD-R disc featuring the files as both .wav and MP3.
There are some dating clues on them - hope you can pin them down. One talks about the Villanova basketball victory which was in 1985.
The Larry King tape is 39:48 long (sans commercials) and the radio station WIP interview is (20:53).
You will be getting *everything* that I recorded on the original cassette tape - some parts get rough and the speed is a bit off. But at least it is quite listenable. And Shep talks about some great stuff, including his theme song.
I just checked my computer and for some reason I never saved your mailing address! I'll send the disc as soon as I hear from you. Please do not copy these recordings for others. Thanks!

Thanks, I may be able to correct the speed problems. I did a couple of shows a few years ago that had some weird speed variations throughout. Took some time, but came out pretty good.
The Villa Nova vs Georgetown win was on April 1st - 66-64 in Lexington Kentucky. How did they refer to the win - "today" or just in general conversation of a recent event?
Jim
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I believe that the reference to the game was specific enough (the day after maybe?) so it will help pin down the date of one of the interviews - but I was listening to two programs today for clues so I might get them mixed up as to which one had that reference. I'll let you listen!
The Larry King one may not be the one you have listed!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
One of the shows had a reference to Studs Terkel just winning a Pulitzer Prize. That was in 1985. Think it was the Larry King interview.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I received the CD and began to listen to the Larry King interview. This is definately 1985 since Larry keeps mentioning the 2nd season of Jean Shepherd's America starting April 16th. I had a note on the website of him appearing on Larry King on April 1st. I never did confirm it, but it sounds like this may be it. He was probably appearing to promote the show. I have to check my notes.

"I last saw Jean Shepherd at the NJEA teachers convention in Atlantic City a few year's ago He was terrific, but after the show I was sad to see him in poor health."
"I think it was Nov. of 96 or 97- I will have to check on the year. He was an invited speaker - of course paid his customary fee. He spoke of education in his sardonic way and related stories of mostly middle school experiences, real or imagined--but humorous as always .Leigh was with him and she did not look well, either - although Jean was using a cane and was favoring his foot." |

[Lowell - 6-30-03]
Hope all is well. As you probably heard by now, my wife purchased "Into the Unknown" as a surprise birthday gift for me (July 31st). The biggest surprise for her was that she entered $27,500 as her bid intending $275! She was horrified at the error at 4 minutes to the close of the auction and didn't know how to change it!!!
She was somewhat relieved at seeing that the item went for a mere $1995! Wow, Shep could have really made something like this into a great story. I'm still in shock, but the item is paid for. |

[Gene B] Just listening to Shep Jeff's 4/2002 CD set, WOR 11C, dated 3/26/60 (about the 11th one on the disc.). About 36 minutes in. Shep says he was in the radar camp located next to West Palm Beach. I just checked my printout of Camp Murphy (radar camp, now Jonathan Dickinson State Park) web page, which says, "located twelve miles south of Stuart on U.S 1 HWY." The google map for West Palm Beach shows Stuart just to the north of West Palm Beach. (Atlantic coast just east of Lake Okeechobee) For me this pretty well confirms that Shep was indeed at Camp Murphy.
[Jim] Ft Monmouth - "Love at the USO" - April 8, 1965
[Gene b] A bit of circumstantial evidence that Shep went from Camp Crowder, Missouri directly to Camp Murphy, Florida is that in A Fistful of Fig Newtons, Shep, for the Troop Train Ernie story, he titles it THE MARATHON RUN OF LONESOME ERNIE, THE ARKANSAS TRAVELER, Arkansas being directly south of Missouri on a train trip toward Florida.

3. Copy of first sheet of Shep's Army Discharge paper showing his
years of service as 1942 to 1944, located in Jim Clavin's website.
My conclusions based on circumstantial evidence (not admissible in a
court of law) are:
1. The Army Signal School trained thousands of Signal Corp troops
during WW2, during the years 1941 thru 1945. Most, if not all, Signal
Corp technicians were trained here.
2. Radio Sets SCR-268 and SCR-270, the Army's first air search radars,
were developed at Ft. Monmouth. SCR-270 was inproved version of the SCR-
268. SCR-270 was the type used in Hawaii, and detected the Japanese air
attack of 1941, but the radar operators report was ignored by senior
officers. The story about the senior officers resisting the
installation of the radars, and discounting the usefullness of
information coming from those radars is a tale unto itself. Shep was
trained on SCR-268 (or possibly SCR-270)
3. Having listened to Shep's show on Italian POW's, I was puzzled
about where he came across the POW's. He went into a lot of detail
about the POW's and how the local Italian population would deliver wine
and Italian delicacies to the POW's through the barbed wire fences.
4 In the Ft Monmouth documentation, I learned that several hundred
Italian POW's were moved to Ft Monmouth in 1944 to do service work such
as housekeeping, etc. to relieve US soldiers formerly doing this work.
5, I conclude, Ipso Facto, Cogito Ergo Sum, and In Hoc Agricola, that
Shep was at Ft Monmouth in 1944. All of which still leaves me puzzled
about the 1944 discharge date. Did he spend the rest of the war
undercover as an OSS secret agent parachuting into occupied France or
Yugoslavia? Did he entertain War Department brass with stories of his
childhood? Did he serve as a radar instructor after attending the
school?
Can anyone offer answers to these burning questions?

Camp Atterbury
Record #: 2595 |
General |
According to Atterbury webite history page:
The base also served as an internment camp for approximately 15,000 Italian and German prisoners of war. They were housed in a large compound located on the extreme western edge of camp. Many of them left the POW compound during the day to work on nearby farms and in canneries in Southern Indiana. Symbolic of these captured prisoners, is a place of worship aptly named "The Chapel in the Meadow" located about a mile from the Post Stockade. It is a building, 12 x 18 feet, of poured concrete. Inside the Chapel is an altar and a coating of red paint, in lieu of carpet, leads in from the open front. The Madonna, Angels, St. Anthony, and the Dove of Peace were painted, in fresco style, into wet plaster by Italian prisoner artisens. Barbed wire has been strung around the Chapel to protect it from animals. The German-American and Italian-American clubs of Indianapolis are making plans to preserve the Chapel and to hold yearly memorial services in honor of the 19 Germans and Italians who were in the Atterbury Cemetery. The remains of these POWs have since been moved to the National Cemetery in Springfield, Illinois.

Jonathan Dickinson State Park
16450 S.E. Federal Highway
Hobe Sound, Florida 33455
Martin County
(561) 546-2771
This site is located in the Southeast region of the state.
DIRECTIONS
Jonathan Dickinson State Park is located twelve miles south of Stuart on U.S. 1 HWY.
Operated by the Southern Signal Corps School and sited on 11,200 acres, Camp Murphy served as the Army's top-secret radar training facility. Named for Col. William Herbert Murphy, an U.S. Army pioneer in electronic equipment, the camp operated from April 1942 until November 1944 to provide research and development resources to the military. As many as 1,000 buildings were constructed for use by a complement of 854 officers and 5,000 men stationed here during this thirty-one month period. Pilots from NAAS Witham at Stuart flew training missions over Camp Murphy to provide “targets” to the students learning to use the radar equipment.
Acquired by the State of Florida when abandoned by the military, Camp Murphy became Jonathan Dickinson State Park. Two WWII era buildings remain in use by the Park Service. |

Jim, below is from the discussion group, 11/06, and it seems to provide some good circumstancial evidence as toe the whys and wherefores of
Shep's service and early release. As I distrust Wikipedia, I checked google for Camp Murphy and got the same basic info, including an aerial photo: http://dhr.dos.state.fl.us/wwii/sites.cfm?PR_ID=103
===========================================
In the way of a reply to my post that began this thread, I heard yesterday an episode on Mass Backwards in which Shep recalled his being at a separation center at Ft. Dix. He recalled it was a cold December and that there were POWs there. All this is consistent with the Dec 1944 discharge date in his army record. Since other members of his company were also being separated, there was nothing special about his separation.
I could only conjecture that he and his company were engaged in coastal radar and the latter was no longer needed at the time.
I have recently learned that the age of conscription was lowered from 21 to 18 late in 1942. Given Shep's birthday, he became cannon fodder in July 1942, the month of his induction. |

Anderson, Dorothy
Record #: 2577 |
Technical |
[From Mark Anderson - 3/10/2004] Jim, My Father was born in 1918, so Mr Shepherd was 3 yrs younger. My Aunt Dorothy, was, I believe, 7-8 yrs younger than my Father (I am a little foggy about her age, I will have to talk to her about it). I think there is a little mixing of fact and fiction, or mixing of timelines...he must have been older than 15 when he was dating her. If I remember correctly, she was as senior in high school when he was in the army and began writing to her. I will have to call Dorothy and get the facts straight.
Anyway, I recognize the story about Riverview...Dorothy told of the time she went with him and was just terrified on all the rides and was certain that he referred to her terror on the rides, only he used a ficticious name.
The letters tell many stories about the army...they were mostly love letters and letters of frustration when she didn't write him back...things like that. My Aunt actually gave me all of the letters. In fact, when the Community Center opened in Hammond, I had to mail some pictures back to her so they could be used in the opening. They were publicity type photos from when he was at WKRC.
When I get a chance, I will look through the letters and see if there are stories I recognize.
I don't mind the questions.....I find it all interesting. Before we moved to Connecticut, we lived in Hammond in the house where my Dad and Aunt grew up on Arizona Avenue. My wife went to Warren G Harding elementary school. His early life was very similar to my Father's life - he worked in the tin mill at Inland steel for awhile, he was a HAM radio operator (in fact, this is how he got to know Jean), he was in the signal corps in the army etc. So my Dad always told similar stories. Anyway, my Father passed away 20 years ago, but hearing and reading Sheperds stories, helps me remember him.
[From Mark Anderson - 3/31/2004] Jim, I got the pictures from Dorothy. I am including 2 from WKRC (I only know that because they were in a WRKC envelop and Dorothy confirmed, there is no evidence on the pictures themselves). I also included a couple of Army pictures, including a snap shot of him at the U of MD in 1944..where he was involved in some sort of training. I added a shot taken at the Indiana Dunes and another of him by his car.
[From Mark Anderson - 3/31/2004] Jim, I asked Dorothy if she would mind if you posted these and she was perfectly fine with it. She also allowed the Hammond Community Center to copy them and put them up there. I think you should credit them to Dorothy Martin (Anderson) since they are hers.
I will ask Dorothy about where he went to school...the picture is date June '44 and I think he was still in the army. In the letters he mentioned something about the army sending him to school. I am not sure if he got his degree there or just took some classes. I will ask.
Dorothy and he were never married. They were engaged for a short time, which I believe occured while he was in the army. It is intestering to follow the flow of the letters he sent her (140 of them) while there..it is clear that the relationship started to sour a little bit by the end.
I thought you might find it interesting that in the box of letters is also a letter from Paul Schwartz. Also, Dorothy told me Sunday that somewhere in her house she has a letter she wrote to Schwartz that was returned to her unopened...when he was lost in the war (what he said in IGWT was true).
I know you have pictures of some of the people on your site. I thought I might send you Dorothy's senior picture from high school so you could post. In the "Dead Flies" story you sent...he is definitely describing Dorothy - Beautiful, blond hair, blue eyes, beautiful skin. ( In that story, he also describes her father in his undershirt with suspenders. That is what I remember my Grandfather always wearing.) The story could very well be true..they went a lot of places together including the Indiana dunes on several occasions (which is where that picture on the beach was taken)..but she is having trouble remembering details these days. Even in the story he says he never told her.
Dorothy told me that she definitely went to Arlington Park with him (on the story when he bet on the horse). She did, however, think the story was made up..she didn't remember anything like that.
[From Mark Anderson - 7/16/2013] I can't remember how close in age my Dad and Jean were, I think pretty close and Dorothy was a few younger than my Dad. Anyway, my Dad was into building radios and had a ham radio and would talk about Jean coming to the house to mess around with them. That is how Jean and Dorothy got to know each other |

Zurich postcards from 1957
Looking at the one with the handwritten date of February 27, 1957 is it me or does the postmark appear to be Nov?
In the line above the '1957' it looks like '27' to the left and '11' to the right. The second '1' seems faded.
"Pratt Institute - Blood Drive Rally - 4:30 PM" November 27, 1957
I am trying to find out my source for this.
Also he was at Carnegie Hall that night as per the attached NY Times article - See Wednesday's listing which would have been the 27th.
On the KLM postcard dated 11-26-57 he writes:
"Cold almost gone and by the time you get this I'll have left Zurich and will be in Munich"
How could he have been headed for Zurich and then Munich and still be back in NY for 2 appearances?
Interesting sidenote: Shepherd's daughter Adrian was born December 16, 1957. Appears he was travelling abroad during his wife's last month of pregnancy, writing to his 'girlfriend' Lois. Strange man he was! |

One of the most emotionally rewarding results of the settlement was when the go away money was split between me, Leigh's mother Dorothy Leonard, and our legal counsel. In the beginning, right after Jean died I finally found Dorothy after a week hammering the phone at work calling all his people, what were left scattered everywhere. I had an office at work with a door that was closed all the time anyway, I was calling on the company dime, an ad agency, so I feel morally clean here. Anyway, she was at a retirement community near Lakehurst NJ, had a modest little single story two bedroom in a less well to do cul-de-sac, part of a large tract of homes with lots of housing options across the economic board. But she was at the end of her financial tether, she was ninety something and the savings put aside by she and Elwood who rented a plot and built and ran a putt-putt golf course in the NJ beach community of Chadwick Beach.
Elwood had passed away long ago, and attached to an oxygen tank, his condition sapped a lot of their money. It was his tube that prompted Dorothy to ask Jean and Leigh, who always passed through going to and from Ft. Lauderdale on their seasonal peregrinations, to please keep the two then puppies they were sporting at the time, one named Bumpus and I forget the other, keep the dogs at the hotel they stopped at, the house was too
small for Jean and Leigh to stay at, so they wouldn't tangle and nip at his oxygen tube. Reasonable enough, no? No, apparently that was enough cause for Leigh to never speak to her mother again. Ever. Maybe '85, '86? Anyway, she didn't have two nickels to rub together
anymore. Pissed too, that Jean hadn't had the decency to even call her when Leigh died, PISSED! Her other daughter Dee had gotten through to Jean soon after Leigh died, when he was now answering the phone, something only Leigh used to do if at all, now he was home alone in his state of profound grief, and she got him on the phone
when he said simply, "Leigh's dead", and hung up. I had four phone calls with him then too.
So Dorothy and I, pursuing a common enemy, became fast friends. My fondest memory was a pleasant couple hours explaining and planning legal strategy at an open air bar on the boardwalk in Ft. Lauderdale after a meeting with our lawyers, she with her highballs and me tossing back beer, all the young bodies on display on the promenade, roller bladers, musclemen, hot-rodders, the whole carny Fla. display, us getting pleasantly drunk as the sun set, all she wanted was her due for all that Leigh had pulled together out of Jean, just recognition would have been enough, but no...not forthcoming.
Anyway, we took away enough of a bite out of the enemy to insure she had enough dough to live comfortably enough not to have worries about the retirement community to move her into a more dire circumstance,
her medical stuff was covered, and she lived on to 98, 99, she was knocking on the door of one hundred, in great shape too, she had that beguiling female presence her daughter had too, a little come hither something, nice in a woman of any age, especially welcome at hers. I always have regretted not making it to her deathbed, she might have made 100 if I had, but she didn't really want to as she told it. I almost got there, we had a date, our annual Mother's day get together.
She passed away two or three days before, I never pass by my portrait of her without a salute, a nod, her on her little sunporch, poised sitting regally in front of a wall full of family pictures, one of which was a sepia toned portrait in an oval frame of Leigh and Jean, Jean standing with Leigh sitting at his front, him looking appropriately serious as he gazed off screen, dressed as a general in
the Confederate Army, she in antebellum taffeta, one of those setups where you stick your head through a hole in the painted backdrop on some boardwalk photo shoot? Absolutely charming. We'll get that one up on the website one day.
I believe she died happy. She used to say she was lucky in love, she had three or four husbands, each one better than the last, she loved them all, there was even a clergy in her community she had an unspoken intimacy with near the end.
God bless her, they don't make many women like that any more. |

Hi Jim,
Here's the email I'm expecting to send to the shepgroup. Attached are all four pages scanned from Playboy--actually I'll send the first two attached to this one, the second two to the next mail. They're in the sequence as per the Playboy issue I got in the mail today.
Gene.
I’ve been learning a lot about Leigh Brown’s early days in New York from a close friend of hers. Leigh wrote extensive letters to her friend in New Jersey once she moved from the Garden State to live in the swinging, artistic Greenwich Village in the late 1950s. Her letters (which I now have), combined with the notes Lois Nettleton wrote to me regarding Excelsior, You Fathead! Give a much more detailed picture of the two of them in relation to Jean Shepherd than had previously been known, in the crucial decade for Shepherd of 1956 to 1966.
Leigh worked in the offices of a midtown textile manufacturer, where she typed her letters to her friend. At night she recited poetry in coffee houses such as Café Wha, and drank in well-known artist hangouts such as the White Horse and the Cedar Tavern (Cedar Bar). She associated with many people in the creative arts and she herself worked on video, film, theater, and television scripts in addition to spending time on the novel Black Harvest, co-written in their teenage days in New Jersey by her and her friend. (Eventually this was published in 1975 as The Show Gypsies by Leigh Brown.)
Among the many artists, writers, and media people Leigh palled around with was Shel Silverstein, for whom she said she did the simple color for the line drawings in Uncle Shelby’s A B Z Book, as published in Playboy in August, 1961. (The book version, without color, has much the same wording but the drawings, though mostly very similar, were redrawn. A couple of pages are also different.) She annoyed Shel when, after he shaved his head she said he looked like "Mr. Clean." Despite his outward manner of hard language and being a Playboy type with a constant supply of women, he was thought of by her as a quite innocent and gullible sort.
Shel had introduced her to his friend Jean Shepherd. Their gang hung around at the Paperback Gallery, one of Jean’s favorite places, which he advertised on his broadcasts. Leigh listened to Jean’s radio programs and became fascinated by him, greatly admiring his radio art, his insights, and his view of the world both through his program and during their developing friendship. But at least at first she wanted him just as a close friend and confidant, not wanting to become involved with him because he was married to Lois Nettleton. Her letters show considerable alternating back and forth regarding her feelings for Jean and how she viewed their relationship. In one of the last letters I have, late January 1962, she writes, in a foreshadowing of future events at WOR, "Then Jean called. He asked me if I wanted a job." |

There was a special on WNET channel 13 New York sometime in '68-'69. It was called "The Three Worlds of Jean Shepherd".
The show was 30 minutes long and there were three ten minute segments covering radio, live performances (Limelight Shows), and writing books. It was narrated by "John" (Gambling?) who also interviews Shep for each segment. In the last segment interview about writing, Shep tells John about how he writes late at night after the radio show and uses Leigh as a sounding board. He then turns to Leigh and 'interviews' her as you hear. |

Shep's mother -- Anne (aka Anna and Annie) (nee Heinrichs) Shepherd Hetrick (1899-1977) -- had four sisters:
1. Theresa Marie ("Aunt Theresa") Heinrichs (1894-1993): Married to Frederick Frank Herman ("Uncle Fred") Von Beulwitz (1894-1969), who worked as a machinist. They had Warren Parker (1921-1930) and Donald Frederick (1927-2003). Curiously, Shep (as well as his father, of course) has the same middle name ("Parker") as cousin Warren Von Beulwitz. It is also the surname of Shep's fictional family in "A Christmas Story." In a 1960 radio broadcast, Shep mentioned Aunt Theresa's Jell-O molds and Uncle Fred being henpecked.
2. Kathryn Edith ("Aunt Kate") Heinrichs (1896-1989): Married to Alfred August ("Uncle Al") Von Beulwitz (1895-1968), who worked as a musician (violinist) and orchestra leader. They had Joyce Gloria (m. Jerome Albert De Berthier) (1920-2006), Arline (aka Arlene) Hope (m. Willis L. Bennett) (1922-?) and Alfred August Jr. (1923-1992). Sisters Kate and Theresa Heinrichs married the Von Beulwitz brothers, Shep's uncles Al and Fred. In a 1962 radio broadcast, Shep told of Aunt Kate and Uncle Al, and how they ordered takeout food.
3. Clara M. ("Aunt Clara") Heinrichs (1902-1987): She gave Shep the pink bunny suit in "A Christmas Story." Married to Charles Michael ("Uncle Charles") Musson (1904-1937), who worked in a dye house. Shep wrote in IGWT, when telling of Ralphie's visit to Toyland at Goldblatt's, that "Santa smoked Camels, like my Uncle Charles." Aunt Clara and Uncle Charles had Merle C. (m. Pearson) (1924-2013), Charles August (1927-1990) and Patricia A. (m. Charles Schmidt) (1935-2015).
4. Minnie ("Aunt Min") Heinrichs (1905-1963): She took Shep to see "The Student Prince"; featured in classic radio episode "Aunt Min's Surprise"; and thought Shep loved licorice (IGWT). Married to Carl Theodore ("Uncle Carl") Peterson (1904-?), who was a carpenter and painter that predeceased her. Uncle Carl ran a fireworks stand in the PBS movie "Great American Fourth of July and Other Disasters." And in IGWT, Shep told Junie Jo Prewitt of the time Uncle Carl lost his false teeth down the airshaft. Aunt Min and Uncle Carl had Lyle C. (1928-?) and Norman (1936-?). |

Ugh!!! Got some info today...1st off a nice piece about Randy and his Rolls business. There is a nice picture of Randy& his wife Dorthy in the middle of their 2 Rolls' and a Caddy limo. No date on the article...guessing early to mid 80's. I am also convinced that this is the one of the same Rolls that Shep is driving at the beginning of the Great American 4th Of July. Randy also has a SON! No name given though.
Now for the disturbing news...Randy was 65 when this happened so this was back in 1988. He was charged in Lake County with felony child explotation involving 2 Highland girls, ages 12 & 14 back on September 12, 1987. He showed them pornography and mags with sexually explicit text. He alluded them from day 1 when the girls families pressed charges. What made it worse is that he promised to surrender but never did. They attempted to find him in March of 89 but he again alluded them, giving them a new address which turned out to be fake. They received reports he was living in Chicago or Florida.
He avoided them till 94, when he passed away. I believe his wife remained here, (and may still be alive) surely shattered and sold the limo business. She did state he was ill when he took off. Highland could not pursue Randy because there was not enough money in that departments budget to extradite him. I have a feeling he reached out to Jean and this is what caused their seperation. |

Jim: My father, Andy Paswinski, was a mechanic for Ardnt's (not sure of the spelling) garage/gas station (165th Street and Arkansas Avenue) prior to World War II. I don't know if this was an Esso station or not. At that time, Ardnt had my father make house calls when someone's car would not start or had some other problem so he was well known in the Hessville section of Hammond as he repaired or started many a car in someone's driveway.
His younger brother, Frank, (who was Jean's age) opened a garage/gas station a 1/2 block west of Ardnt's (165th Street and Arizona Avenue) right after World War II, and continued to operate it until his retirement. The reference in Jean's book "I remember the time Paswinski chased you up on the garage and you stayed there all Saturday," Flick sneered, probably refers to my Uncle Frank Paswinski.
My mother, Dorothy Smith/Paswinski went to grade school and and graduated from Hammond High School with Jean. The Smiths lived on Cleveland Street a couple of doors away from the Shepherds.
I worked part-time for my Uncle Frank's station during my senior year in high school (1965) and for a few years after. Jack Flickinger was a regular customer. (His bar, Flick's Tap, was only a block away from the station. @ 165th Street and Kennedy Avenue) He always said after getting some gas, "check the oil" as it always seemed to be a quart or two low.
My wife is Judy Doppler/Paswinski. Her father, George Doppler was a friend of Jeans and was also in the same grade with him. The Doppler Family was in the construction business and had no connection with the Orpheum gravy boat riot.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes from Steve Glazer:
2/25/2013 - Strickland was raised in East Chicago and also attended McKinley Elementary School there. So that's another connection between Shep and McKinley/East Chicago in the mid/late 1920s. Strickland was born on December 12, 1920; so if you take Shep completely literally -- just for supposition and estimation purposes -- Dawn would have been six years old through most of calendar year 1926.(Of course, in reality, Dawn could have been seven or so when Shep actually knew her.)
2/25/2013 - That's a picture of Geraldine Strickland; same age as Shep and lived in Hammond at that time. Her family moved to Munster, Indiana, before graduation in 1939. (Yearbook pictures for sophomores and juniors can be tricky without the first names.) Dawn Strickland spent the entire 1936-37 academic year studying in Paris! She only attended, as well as graduated from, East Chicago's Roosevelt High. (She apparently received academic credit for her studies abroad, and may have graduated ahead of her normal class.) I have a couple of decent pictures of Dawn from the Hammond Times that you should be able to use for her.
3/12/2013 - Shep often "smooshed" his kindergarten and first-grade years all together, mixing stuff from Chicago, East Chicago and Hammond. The most detailed -- and accurate -- Dawn Stickland broadcast is probably the one Jim sent me from August 6, 1969. (But even in that one, he has Miss Bundy (of Chicago) teaching at McKinley, as well as Schwartz and Flick (of Hammond) going to school and visiting with Dawn.) Dawn never lived in Hammond (and Schwartz and Flick didn't live in East Chicago). Dawn only lived in East Chicago in the 1920s and 30s. And she only attended schools in East Chicago (when not in Paris). Same for Bobby Twyman. |

Yes, that is my very strong assumption. However, I note that most of the limited documentation for Shep's half brother -- who died when only age 21 of unknown causes on February 1, 1974 -- spells the first name as "Glen," rather than "Glenn" (which is the normally used spelling for Aunt Glenn). And the middle name of brother Randy -- also doubtlessly named after Aunt Glenn -- was indeed spelled "Glenn." I do have one obit for Jean Sr that mentions his three sons, and indeed uses the spelling "Glenn" for Shep's half brother (but contains misspellings for some other names .

Shep refers to him several times on LL shows in 1967, but I don't find him in "Friends and Family." Any thoughts? |

When Shep was in high school, he played defensive back on the football team. In his Sophomore year a faculty advisor connected with the local radio station asked him to do commentary on the week's game on a Saturday morning half hour sports show.
(Jean Shepherd - 1970 Overseas Press Club Conference)
[Steve Glazer 11-7-2014]
According to the Hammond City Directory for 1945, Shep was then working as an announcer at local radio station WJOB. Previous accounts have noted that Shep worked at WJOB while still in high school, providing scores for Hammond High's sports events. But, in fact, Shep's first professional broadcasting job as an adult was apparently also at WJOB, shortly after his discharge from the Army. Working at WJOB at the same time as Shep was a young and pretty Hammond resident named Barbara Mattoon, who helped maintain the radio station's library.
Barbara was born in 1926 in Minnesota. She was the daughter of Roy E. and Selma O. Mattoon. In 1929, her family had moved to Hammond from Superior, Wisconsin, where her father worked as a civil engineer. By the early 1930s, Roy was employed as a mill foreman at Inland Steel in nearby East Chicago, Indiana. His family, including Barbara and her siblings, lived at 248 Vine Street in Hammond. Barbara attended Hammond's schools, including Kenwood, Washington and Edison. She often participated in school activities, and performed in school plays and operettas. She also occasionally made the honor roll. At Edison, Barbara served on the school's tenth-grade graduation committee in 1940.
It appears that Barbara was also something of a flirt. During the war years, she was said to be actively corresponding with 31 different servicemen in the army and navy, signing each letter to her uniformed boy friends "with love." She was elected "honorary sweetheart" of a flight squadron in Texas, and even had a combat airplane named in her honor. By then, her nickname was "Queenie."
Shep also apparently fell for the charms of his comely co-worker at WJOB. On March 29, 1947, Shep and Barbara were married by the Reverend Ralph Wilbur Frost of Hessville's First United Presbyterian Church. A native of Ohio and a veteran of World War I, Rev. Frost had first arrived in Hammond during World War II, replacing the previous minister, a pacifist who had left the local ministry for civilian service at a camp sponsored by the Quakers.
At about the time of his marriage to Barbara, Shep had moved to Covington and began work at WSAI in Cincinnati. And in 1950, about three years after his marriage to Barbara, Shep married Joan Warner, the second Mrs. Shepherd. It is not now known what became of the first Mrs. Shepherd. Apparently, for reasons now unknown, both Shep and Queenie wished to erase that period of their lives from the historical record. They were mostly -- but not entirely -- successful.
Steve Glazer - May 9, 2016]
Shep got his start as a professional broadcaster at radio station WJOB in Hammond, Indiana, his hometown, in early 1945, soon after his discharge from the U.S. Army. By the following year, he was off to other, larger markets.
*********************************************************************
Commercial radio in Hammond began in the mid-1920s. By the end of the decade, 100-watt WWAE had taken to the air on 1200 kc. WWAE is where Shep may have announced Hammond High School's sports scores before he graduated in June 1939.
In 1937, the owners of WWAE established WHIP, a 5,000-watt station at 1480 Kc., to reach a wider and more diverse audience. It began broadcasting on October 11, 1937, as the second radio station then serving Hammond. However, WWAE remained the city's principal voice for local programming. Mr. Olney Energy ("O. E.") Richardson, part owner of Hammond-Calumet Broadcasting Corp., was general manager of both stations.
On June 25, 1940, the Federal Communications Commission approved the sale of WWAE and transfer of its license to Richardson and Dr. Fred L. Adair, both of whom had been in charge of the station since the previous September. In early September 1940, Richardson and Adair were on the air with the station's brand new call letters, WJOB, obtained to emphasize the station's change in ownership and management. And sometime around the turn of the year, the station's frequency was moved to 1230 Kc., where it remains today.
No instance has been uncovered where Shep himself ever acknowledged -- at least explicitly -- having worked at WJOB in Hammond. Nevertheless, Shep did refer during several WOR broadcasts, when telling of his early days in radio, to some of the station's actual staff in Hammond. For example, "Mr. Richardson" -- the general manager of WJOB -- was mentioned by Shep as his "boss" during the WOR shows of February 26, 1964, and April 18, 1969. The 1964 show also referred to "Sam Weller" as the station's program director. Weller was in fact the program director at WJOB in the mid-1940s.
In any event, the historical record conclusively establishes that Shep indeed got his professional start in broadcasting at his hometown radio station shortly after discharge from the U.S. Army in December 1944. The Hammond City Directory for 1945 lists Shep as an "announcer" at "WJOB Radio Sta[tion]" (with Shep still living with his mother and the Old Man gone from the family home). And a wartime brochure published by the station in early 1945 -- just prior to V-E Day in May -- includes a picture of Shep among the station's on-air staff. The same brochure also includes pictures of Richardson and Weller.
Although Shep was to leave WJOB by the spring of the following year, he apparently met his first wife, Barbara Mattoon, at the station. Barbara -- an attractive ringer for a young Bette Davis -- was the station's music librarian while Shep worked there. |

Hello;
I just came across your fabulous site this morning. I thought it might be interesting to write to you about my short, but highly memorable, association with Jean.
In 1974, I was working at another radio station in NYC that was going through a series of layoffs. The GM of the station, Larry Josephson, felt badly that he was letting go of an ambitious young radio lover and asked me if I would like to work over at WOR for his good friend Jean Shepherd who was looking for an associate producer to help Leigh Brown, Jean's producer. The two of them were traveling a lot in those days and needed someone to handle the show while they were gone. I said YES! and Larry arranged for an interview which resulted in a job at 1440 working with Jean and Leigh. What can I say?
My job was to coordinate all activities of life between Jean and WOR and his other radio project at the time--his national 'strip' show at the NBC Radio Network, which he recorded once a week (5 shows at a time for playback nationally). The other part of my job was to sit in on the recording sessions, take notes, name the shows and make sure the tapes were where they were supposed to be for broadcast when Jean was out of town and reruns were broadcast (which at times was somewhat frequent, although Jean would tape shows in advance for many of the dates he was away). I can remember these sessions like they were yesterday. Of course, we knew we were doing great radio but we never knew that people would be listening and appreciating these shows 30 years later.
I can clear up a couple of long-standing debates. The first is: Did Jean spend hours preparing the show or did he write a couple of words on a scrap of paper on his way into the studio? The answer is really: both of the above. Jean lived his show--it was really him. Therefore, his prep was just living and remembering and recalling things from decades or minutes before the 10-inch machine started rolling. But, in truth, the latter was what really happened. I remember Jean asking me what I thought of something right before we walked to the studio. He would write my answers down on a scrap of paper and that would be the basis of the show. He would do the same with the studio engineers who he used regularly for such material. He wanted to make sure the show was about what real people wanted to hear--not ivory tower stuff. It was his blue collar background, I suppose. Most of those guys really never 'got' Jean but they played along. Only a couple, like Herb Squires, really knew that they were a part of something very special.
Another funny thing that I can clear up has to do with the show titles. Part of my job was to name each show and fill out a label for the outside of the box of tape that would be stored for broadcast. I suppose it was these titles that Leigh or I would write on the box are the ones that are referenced in the sites today. Sometimes we just got lazy or couldn't really figure out the right title and we just left the title box blank. Maybe that's why some of these shows have no title--fascinating if true.
I could write a good deal more and probably will. There are many, many memories. I thought this might be an interesting tidbit for your files and your love of Jean's work.
Regards,
Marc

Thanks for writing. You've answered some questions and raised others. You mention the national strip show at NBC. Are these the 2 minute commentaries he did around 1974?
{http://www.flicklives.com/Radio/NBC/nbc_spots.htm}
As for the NBC commentaries: Yes, he did these over at 30 Rock in 1974 and 1975. I wound up getting my next job (a 9-year stint at NBC) due to a phone call I was fortunate enough to answer from his NBC Radio Network producer, Joe Coggins, who was looking for Jean during one of his out-of-town obligations.
I've heard that in 1976 and 1977 the last year and a half before WOR laid the axe on everyone, Shep would come in only once a week and record 5 shows in a sitting. Another rumor started by Shep himself was that he kept copies of all his shows, but these have never surfaced and everyone I've spoken with so far don't seem to know. Another rumor connected with this is that he used to steal tapes from other shows to record his over.
Jean only came in a couple of times a week (maybe 3) even as early as 1974. I cannot remember ever seeing him 5 days a week. He was pretty active in those days with outside speaking gigs and would tape in advance or,on occasion, we would play a rerun which I would choose for broadcast. Leigh did keep copies of all the shows but I have no idea what she did with them as they were all recorded on 10" reels and were quite heavy and bulky. As for the stealing of other's tapes--not while I was with him. It wasn't our job to supply WOR with tape. We went to the studio and the tape was on the machine ready to record. Also: in those days, most of the WOR lineup was live. Gambling, The McCanns, Arlene Francis, Barry Farber, etc. Most took phone calls.
One interesting tidbit that most people might not know is the office layout on the 24th floor of 1440 for the WOR talent pool Gambling and Bob and Ray had their own separate offices. We had a TINY TINY office in the corner of the general talent suite and we were right next to the Barry Farber Show; we hardly ever saw Barry because his show was a late-night broadcast. We did see his producer on occasion--a woman whose name I forget but a woman who Barry later married (or lived with for many years). Arlene Francis was to our left as was the McCanns Show and their absolutely beautiful producer whose name I cannot remember. I remember the day she got married--it was crushing.
I mention this all because you have to appreciate how out of the mainstream Jean's show was at that station. The other talent---except for Barry who was a fan-- never understood our show and probably never listened to it much, either. We were the show that most at WOR could not believe was actually on WOR. It was one of the things I liked about the job. We were the Howard Stern at WNBC--outside the mainstream with a large and loyal following that loved the show for many years.
I've always suspected that his "off the cuff" technique was real. He bounced around too many times during the course of a show to have had a set script, but he apparently always kept an eye on the clock in order to leave enough time to bring home the main point. I've always felt his story telling followed the same course. True stories taken from his own experiences, or of someone he knew, and then woven with enough fiction to give it a 'kick' and make it more interesting to the listener.
The show was absolutely, 98% unscripted. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Jean could never have done what he did with a script. He wasn't a radio star--he was a monologist. He loved to talk about what was on his mind--although it was 1974 and still a very G-rated broadcast world. As for the clock--it was my job (or Leigh's if she sat in on the session) to keep Jean informed of the time remaining for the show. This was a VERY important component of the job. He wanted a '5 minutes remaining' visual and one a bit sooner (although I cannot remember if it was 2 or 3 minutes). He would seamlessly and flawlessly (most of the time, anyway) wind it down to perfection right at the close of the theme. Listen carefully to how far out the show would be just 2 minutes from the end and how it wound up so perfectly only 120 seconds later. He was good. I will say, though, that we did mis-time a couple of shows while I was there. Ended it a minute early. Big problem. Oh, well it could have been too long which would have been a bigger problem. While I did the show, it was most often broadcast in a 9:15 slot. As you know, WOR did a 15-minute live newscast from the studio across the hall every hour up until the beginning of our show. I do believe that this (the 9 PM show) was the last live news show of the day and that they did not do one following our show, so timing was really important as they had no live announce to make up for errors. WOR did broadcast an hourly BEEP and shows ended right on that beep. The News would immediately follow the BEEP. Anyway, the mis-timed show was a rare event but it did happen.
If it's okay with you, I'd like to work your comments into one of the WOR pages along with anything else you may want to add. 1st hand experiences with Shep are always of interest to the fans who listened to him.
Sure. As I write to you many memories return. Most are great. Jean was a pretty easy guy for me to work with. He could be a bit tempermental but never anything abusive or out of the norm for a talent of his stature. The same was true with Leigh who had to deal with the entire range of issues including Jean's moods, WOR's complaints and all else related to his career. She was very tough for me to handle during the beginning of my stint with the Show. She was extremely protective of Jean and here I was with a great responsibility that she really did not want to relinquish. Once I proved that I could handle the show, not alienate the engineers and run things while they were away, she became a bit easier for me to work with. Never was it overly comfortable, however. She was a great person though and an incredibly competent person professionally. She really loved Jean and took care of him. Remember, I was working with them several years before they married.
Have you been in touch at all with Gene Bergmann. He wrote the only book on Shepherd and is in the process of writing another follow up book. I'm sure he'd be delighted to talk with you.
I do not know Gene. If I can help him, that would be great. Feel free to give him my email.
It was a pleasure recalling this information. Thanks for the opportunity to do so.

"Jean Shepherd" - The Comic Strip
Record #: 3881 |

[From John Roman]
You more than likely are not aware of this, but Jean Shepherd's works were
almost interpreted into comic strip form. In 1978, as a young and naive
twenty-seven-year-old kid cartoonist and ardent admirer of Jean Shepherd's
work, I drew out three weeks of "Jean Shepherd" comic strips as examples as
to how Shepherd's work could be adapted into a daily newspaper comic strip
format. I then sent them off to Jean Shepherd never expecting him to ever
receive them, or if he did receive them, never to respond. I was wrong.
One day the phone rang at my home and on the other end of the line was Jean
Shepherd! For several months he and I pursued getting the "Jean Shepherd"
comic strip syndicated and we came very, very close.
Subsequently Jean Shepherd and I had a number of phone conversations about
the strip and the near successes we were having getting it sold. Jean even
spoke about his (upcoming) comic strip a few times on the radio (the CBS
syndicated short radio commentary he did back in the late 70s). I even have
radio tapes of his commentaries where he mentions his (upcoming) comic
strip! I can send you a copy of the tape as well. I never did get to meet
Jean Shepherd and in the end he got more invovled with his "A Christmas
Story" movie project and I went on to get a strip of my own syndicated. |
