WOW! It was refreshing to view a time in history when advertisements did not dominate or otherwise invade our enjoyments (NOT!)
.
.
With today's wide spread media coverage, the many similar contests (albeit not with Ruth & Gehrig) can become less noticeable and the kids that win them are already so jaded and discerning that they do not fully appreciate it...and that is a shame.
.
It would be truly wonderful to be more 'connected' to such wonderful experiences as you have lade out for us.
Just imagine if you only got to see your hero once in a lifetime
-or a time when you could leave your front door unlocked
-and before you and many others had been scared into your basement by a radio show (Mercury Theatre).
.
Thanks a lot for sharing!
