Great to hear from another Greater Delaware Valley native. No longer there but was born and raised in South Jersey. We watched our gal Sal every day. Went to the studio for her show a couple of times when I was really young. Speking of Wee Willie Weber, my sister won a contest he ran when the Lindenwold High Speed Line opened up. She got to be on his show, her and my dad rode the maiden trip on the Line with Weber (He escorted them to the studio) and she won a $150 gift certificate to Toys R Us. I'm guessing that was around 1970. She got a ton of new toys with that!

Yeah Sally had a drinking problem. She came to our 4th of July Parade and cookout in Merchantville several years in a row. I remember hearing my dad tell my mom after the last one that she was smashed. But she was always a lovely lady. She would pose for pictures with the kids and sign autographs for hours.

I lived about six blocks from the Chanel 17 Studio. We were on Webber's show several times. 1967-ish thru 1975.

"All Righty Rooneys".(Starr) Webber had give away contests and drawings for clothes, toys, coats, and you name it?

Fun stuff, when as kids we roamed free and lived a Tom Sawyer-ish wild streak as long as your parents didn't get any complaints. We used to play archery golf with compound bow and arrows. Par 5 to drive a tennis ball from 25 yards into a briefly stopped car at the street stop sign. Ride horses all over God's creation at all times of the day and night. Left the house by 9:00AM in the summer and would squeak back just in time for dinner, then play kick the can or half ball until we slept on someone's back porch in sleeping bags.

Oh how times have changed.
