Radio has long since passed its heyday, as far as programming is concerned. All of the aforementioned and stars in the audio firmament have many more once-brigfaded from the network airwaves, with the exception of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. The Choirs weekly show from Temple Square in Salt Lake City is still going strong. Its the oldest continuous weekly network radio program in the world and this month marks its 50th anniversary of network broadcasting. When NBC carried the 375 voices of the Choir over the airwaves to 30 affiliated stations, America hadnt heard of the Lone Ranger, Jack Armstrong, the boy, or Captain Midnight. Those who had radios were yet to be treated to the comedy of Jack Benny, Fred Allen and Fibber McGee and Molly. Fanny Brice hadnt introduced Baby Snooks to radio listeners yet, and FDRs famous radio fireside chats were still several years away. It was 1929. On that July 15, Monday afternoon, at 3 oclock, announcer Ted Kimball climbed a ladder in the Mormon Tabernacle to speak into the only microphone owned by the originating station, KSL.

Mrs. Lucille Judkins, who provided the post-car- d pictures from her cherished collection, recalled the event. I was ten years old at the time and I can remember the motor home pulling up in front of Greasers General Store which was across the street from my fathers home. It caused quite a stir of interest from people passing by and many townspeople came around to look at it." I ran over to take a look and was so impressed that I bought these post cards from the man who owned it."
