Reporting on the public lives of Pulaski County IN during the first half of the 20th century
At the shop where his daddy made and sold gravestones, Obie set up a room for the first radio in town with his high school friends in 1922. By summer, folks were convening at the monument shop to hear concerts from Indianapolis, 100 miles away. One of the singers, in fact, was a local boy whose mother listened at Obie’s radio while her son sang “Goodbye Mother”.
But there was a hiccup as Opie was executing his business plan.
Retired from computing faculty and staff at Purdue University and University of Kentucky. Gathering stories from the public past Pulaski County in the first half of the 20th century. Taking any class if choose at UKy every semester. Thought retirement routine was to be Law&Order reruns in the morning, then a mid-day nap with Oprah&Dr.Phil in the afternoon, and a drunken haze each evening, but that's not the way it worked out - except for the evenings.
