Announcer: The Amos and Andy Show!
John Moe, Ridgeway High School Alumnus: I remember Amos and Andy.
That was one where the family got together to listen to that.
Bob McQueen, Ridgeway High School Alumnus: We used to hurry home from school.
There were programs for youngsters.
I remember Jack Armstrong, the all-American boy sponsored by Wheaties cereal, and I think
there was Little Orphan Annie, and there were a number of shows, Buck Rogers or Buck Jones
or something like that.
That was youngsters and that normally needed around 6:00.
