time we all had at Joan Leonard's virtual birthday party last week. This program
is now archived on Radio Out of the Past. </SPAN></DIV>

<DIV style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">Just a couple of
weeks after the Old-time-radio Marathon (Dec 5-6) on Radio Out of the Past.org,
a new-time radio marathon will be presented in the Fred Bertelsen Old-Time-Radio
Room. On Dec 17, Joy Jackson will share the fun and frivolities that transpired
at the American Radio Theater’s Christmas 2009 party. </SPAN></DIV>

of American Radio Theater have a special tradition in December. The Lexington
Kentucky chapter broadcasts a performance to their colleagues in Seattle, over
the Internet, and Seattle broadcasts a performance (or two) back to
them. We celebrate our fifth anniversary of broadcasts this
year.</SPAN></DIV>

unmodified recording of the 2009 broadcast will be played into the chat-room, as
if it were live. This year, ART-Lexington will present a brand new Great
Gildersleeve show, written by Mike Wheeler. ART-Seattle will entertain with a
brand-new episode of Chang Apana, written by Joy Jackson, followed by a
recreation of Ethel and Albert—“Putting up the Christmas Tree”, and we’ll end
the session with Vic and Sade—“Rush Shares his Plan for Christmas
Presents”. It’s likely to run an hour and a half, so we’ll probably be
starting about 5:30 pm Pacific (8:30 Eastern).</SPAN></DIV>
