018 Franklyn MacCormack - Vangards House Farewell - The Torch Hour April 30 1962

This audio is from the archive of Franklyn MacCormack. He was an American radio personality in Chicago, Illinois, from the 1930s into the 1970s. Franklyn was born March 8th, 1906, and died June 12th, 1971.

All of the audio on this channel was acquired from a stack of reel-to-reels from his personal collection. I took on the task to digitize and upload it so that his efforts in saving all of these tapes was not in vain.

I am uploading the entire collection in no specific order other than the randomness of me picking a reel up to archive it.

I am a historian at heart and I believe everyone’s life should be remembered for more than just their birth and death dates.
