Hearing Jackson again after all these years brought back memories I though I had forgotten. Allen (Duke) Ducovny was my uncle. Working for Rockwell Productions he contributed to Superman and originated Tom Corbet Space Cadet. Sitting in the control room and playing with sound effects was part of my early childhood. Hearing John Gart playing the organ and hearing Jackson are wonderful memories for me. Thank you. Thank you for the memories.

I Knew Sam when he lived ib Durango, CO and went to his house which was a few large blocks from my house, and we talked of his days on "Meet Corliss Archer", one of my favorites when I was in high school. And of all the other things he did that I enjoyed so much. The world is a sadder place without them. 73 Sorry to hear of the passing of Jack Beck and Sam Edwards.
