It was very interesting to hear the authers prespective of his play, “War of the Worlds.” It was aired 5 1/2 months before my birth. I would have liked to have known my parrents reaction if they had listened. Unfortunatly they are not longer living.
I really enjoy the oppertunity to listen to these interfiews.
Thank You,
Dorothy
