ReplyDeleteI used to listen to Beaker Theater when in the Air Force working the midnight shift all alone in a quanset hut on remote field #2 on Eglin AFB. I was in power production and maintained the diesel generators for a mobile ground tactical unit...
ReplyDeleteI remember beaker theater ran from 2AM to 3AM. My girl friend at the time was suppose to be home by 2:30. Many times dad was at door waiting for her and told you are not going out with THAT boy again. We went out all thru high school.
