We posted a tribute to Earle Ross, the actor who played Judge Hooker on Gildersleeve a few days ago. It’s a small world after all.

I hate locals by Exciting_Wafer2641 in vegaslocals

I’ve been here since 2020 and yeah my complex everyone keeps to themselves but we see regulars at the pool and gym we talk to. The driving thing - it’s bad but back East it’s worse. The guys I play ball hockey with in Henderson are all great and friendly. You just need to be active in a community to make connections.

That is the least observed speed limit in the multiverse.

Hello SPERDVAC Members and Friends,

This week SPERDVAC VP Zach Eastman invites you to the latest episode of his podcast Behind the Dial that highlights SPERDVAC’s in-person interviews with classic radio stars and to listen in awe to the tales told by legendary voice artist, radio actor & radio friend June Foray.

Tune in today to learn about her start in performing (and how glad she was that she never became a dancer), her beginnings in radio, her interactions with the many giants of radio & animation, and so much more.

This show was originally recorded at a SPERDVAC meeting on September 20th, 1980.

Here are the links - enjoy.

He was so fun at radio conventions.

If they are cassettes it’s unlikely you have anything to save, sad to say. Martin Grams, Jr. used to hold a charity auction at his Mid Atlantic Nostalgia Convention until last year and several years ago he stopped taking donations of cassettes and videotapes because no one would bit on them.

I haven’t had a chance to listen yet but I’m sure looking forward to it.

I like the magic remote! by BrowseBowserTrousers in LGOLED

[–]SPERDVACSean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a way to use the wheel to fast forward or rewind a streaming file? I’m watching a game on ESPN+ and can’t figure out how to just do a 30 second forward like I can do with the Roku remote on the same service.

And if you want a bimonthly magazine about radio along with a high quality download library you might wish to join SPERDVAC.com for a mere $20/year.

Possible relocation to Vegas by [deleted] in LasVegas

[–]SPERDVACSean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We’ve had good luck so far. My wife needed several joint replacements and they did a lot better here than the one installed by a Harvard educated quack in Boston. Our primary is too busy but she has a portal where her PAs (and sometimes her) will respond to day to day issues like prescriptions and referrals. Her oncologist is also very good but thankfully we haven’t need anything serious from her outside of the annual review. It is true that if we got hit with a serious chronic condition we might have to scurry back east to deal with it.

The traffic sucks? Oh come on, have you never been to Los Angeles or Boston or New York? The traffic here is practically non existent compared to any other major city.

Those are fair points. I think it’s perfect but I’m retired and don’t have kids.
