Thanks to blog follower, Jim Rafac...make that World Record Angler and noted fiction writer, Jim Rafac, for filling in a blank in my personal memory. Jim wrote to say the sound effects performer I referred to last week was the acclaimed Wes Harrison.
In his email, Jim referred to Mr. Harrison as "The standard by which all others are measured" and noted that at age 84, Harrison performs daily at the Wisconsin Dells and hinted he is scheduled for a return to the Chicago Sports Show next year.
As in this case, I have found the internet useful in passive research, whereby I put out a post and information comes to me. This happened about this time last year when I first began the Historic Impressions blog (what I refer to as the blog next door). I posted some off beat material about one-time noted architect that my family had spent years researching, F.S. Allen. After a move to California, the trail went cold, but thanks to a new friend, I have all the sordid 1930's tabloid details. Check out http://www.historicimpressions.blogspot.com/ for more details or to satisfy your morbid curiosity.
Meanwhile, if you were intrigued my the introduction at the beginning of this post, check out the bottom of the page for reading suggestions.
