Show Notes

In early May 1944 Jack and the rest of his cast were still traveling around military bases in the Pacific Northwest. On May 7th they were at the Naval Air Station in Whidbey Island, Washington as Dick Haymes continued substituting for the now departed Dennis Day. The rating for this episode was 20.1, although lower than his season average, it was still tied for third overall, and first on Sunday evenings.
