Hi,
I just discovered Simply Scripts and decided to join in.  My parents were freelance radio writers in the 1940s.  They wrote two Shadow scripts, a Mr. and Mrs. North, a Famous Jury Trials, a Grand Central Station.  We lived in New York, I was a kid, and I thought everyone's parents rehearsed murder dialogue at the kitchen table!  I have xeroxes of the scripts, donated the originals to the University of Wisconsin Film & Theater Center.  I just discovered a mystery bookstore in New York that produces old radio shows as live theater -- Partners & Crime.  Maybe they'll produce my parents' Shadow scripts (I thought the rights to the Shadow belonged to Street & Smith).  Oh...I also have scripts that my father wrote for TV -- Gunsmoke, Colgate Theatre, and Philip Morris Playhouse -- a murder mystery he wrote in 1954 with the then-unknown young writer, Rod Serling.
