What a great website you have here. As a young boy growing up in Connecticut during WW11, I and my friend Billy would be sure to be home at 5:30 each evening to hear Captain Midnight. I believe I had every Secret Decoder, although it was a chore to drink that Ovaltine to get the label and then wait anxiously for the mail to arrive with the new decoder. Ed Prentiss and his wonderful announcer, Pierre Andre’, made it seem like we were part of the show.
