Notes
Possibly w/o 2/1-6 Is this the 2nd show? (10:15) In news at beginning Lester Smith says: "Coming up, more of Jean Shepherd" This is a rerun of the December 17, 1969 show. The commercial for Princeton and Shop-Rite were added to replace the 1969 commercial for Miller Beer. At ~14:00 the 1969 WOR Christmas Fund ad is replaced by one for Luchows.
