As some of you know, our daughter Erika and her husband Mark, have been expecting their first child, a baby boy. He was due on the 18th of this month, but he decided to come early! Erika called yesterday afternoon to say she was being taken to the hospital by her mother-in-law. To jump to the chase, Erika had an easy labor of about 8 hours. The birth was also very easy - so much so, that the doctor and nurses were amazed; none of them had seen... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Derwenz) http://homefront.yuku.com/topic/1172 Wed, 07 Oct 2009 16:37:31 GMT <![CDATA[ Jeanne Seniff, the inspiration fo Homefront, has passed ]]> http://homefront.yuku.com/topic/1171/t/Jeanne-Seniff-the-inspiration-fo-Homefront-has-passed.html If you're not aware, Lynn's insipiration for the series Homefront was a Belgian war-bride named Jeanne Seniff who lived in Lynn's hometown of Conroe, Texas.

Slim Gaillard (his last name is pronounced, gayerd ) was one of the talented black musicians who helped to make the Swing era what it was during the 1930s and '40s. Unfortunately, he goes largely unnoticed by swing music fans today, as he has been so overshadowed by such greats as Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Cab Calloway, Jimmie Lunceford, and Chick Webb -- much as Georg... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Derwenz) http://homefront.yuku.com/topic/1169 Tue, 02 Jun 2009 21:55:46 GMT <![CDATA[ KFAC - LA's Classical Music Station Of The '40s ]]> http://homefront.yuku.com/topic/1168/t/KFAC-LA-39-s-Classical-Music-Station-Of-The-39-40s.html During the 1940s, Radio Station KFAC - formerly located at 92.3 on the FM dial - was THE classical music station in Los Angeles, and ramained so for decades after the '40s. Most Angelinos who were born during the 1920s - 1930s (and long afterward) were introduced to the world of classical music through this local icon of classical music radio.

EVER wonder what might have happened in River Run, Ohio in the summer of 1947, had the Homefront series continued?

It is amazing - for me, at least - to see just how many pie recipes are in this book, especially when one considers that in 1943, WW2 was going full-blast. And, rationing of many food items, such as butter, sugar, flour, etc., would've presented a problem for many of these recipes with unpredictable shortages, and so on.

Have y'all seen the trailers yet for the new movie, The Women? It's a modern-day remake of the 1939 classic - the fashion, the fun, the catfights! - and hit theaters yesterday, I think. Just like the film that came out in September 1939, it's got an all-female cast.

That's right, you read that correctly: radio etiquette. There's a whole chapter in my 1941 etiquette book dedicated to telephone, telegram, and radio-related etiquette issues. I thought I'd share the bit on radio here.

In the Minnie's diary of 1941 thread, Beth and I have touched on the 1939-1940 New York World's Fair. So, I thought it'd be a good idea to start a thread on that very topic.

These were items or products that the average civilian John, or Jane Q Public might have seen/used/encountered in daily life during the war. Below, I've posted some of them. I plan on adding to this thread, from time to time.

1. I'd like to see the show pushed forward 20 years. I have a few scenarios for 1967. Who would be running Sloan Industries in 1967? Would it be Charley Haley?...we all know he married Gina, and in 1967 Emma would not be old/mature enough to handle the position, but she would be the rightful heir to the Sloan buisness enterprises. Would the male children of for example, Charley and Gina, Jeff and Ginger, Ann & Al Kahn's son Mike be involved in the Viet Nam War?... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Randy Jay) http://homefront.yuku.com/topic/1118 Sat, 12 Jul 2008 23:06:16 GMT <![CDATA[ Homefront Magazine ]]> http://homefront.yuku.com/topic/1117/t/Homefront-Magazine.html
