[Magdalen] What's My Line? On Facebook and YouTube

[Jon Egger]

Oh, Scott, I love those old WML shows, too...and I remember the time when
people dressed up to fly.  We flew to Tucson in about 1970 in our
Suday-go-to-meeting best.

I also love the old Groucho shows, old Jack Benny, and so on.......

Grace & peace,
