There are thousands of old radio shows available on XM/Sirius radio Mark. All you need is an imagination!

A step down memory lane. I love Old Time Radio and have quite a number of episode. My favorite though is the Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce Sherlock Holmes series.
They were terrific. And dont forget the Sherlock Holmes films they starred in

I loved the days of radio plays. You had to use your imagination to picture the characters in your mind. Fibber McGee & Molly, The Shadow, Amos & Andy, Inner Sanctum.... I loved them all.

When I was a kid, I saw Bob Richards pole vault at an indoor track meet in Milwaukee. And I saved his Wheaties box for a while. Bob Richard's just passed away earlier this year at age 97.

In 1956 he was the first man to win two gold medals in the pole vault. He did it was a vault of 14" 11 1/2". Then came fiberglass poles and the pole vault was completely changed.

Right, Steve. Roger Banister and Fosbury also changed events. Time marches on, but it’s different!!
