He would do public TV appearances telling stories. I bought the book with Wanda Hickey after seeing his show. I also caught some radio shows. Shepard was once interviewed on an FM station that played avante guarde music, TRIAD. Ken Nordine had a 5 minute spot at closing each night at 11:55PM. In the early Triad days, some of the shows were live. I believe Shepard guested on a couple of them.
Tidbit: My father was a lot like Ralph in Christmas story, and I have a brother Randy. Between that and the Chicago area storyline, it is incredibly nostalgic!

I WAS IN THE ARMY IN STUTTGART, WEST GERMANY WHEN A ROOMMATE OF MINE, WHO WAS FROM NEW YORK, TOLD ME THAT I WAS FROM THE SAME TOWN AS JEAN WAS. I DID NOT KNOW WHAT HE WAS TALKING ABOUT. HE THEN INFORMED ME OF HIS BACKGROUND, AND I STARTED TO READ HIS SHORT STORIES IN PLAYBOY. AS MY LIFE HAS PROGRESSED TO DATE, I LOOK FOR HIS ARTICLES AND TAPES OF HIS SHOWS. WE EVEN HAD A JEAN SHEPHERD CENTER JUST BUILT IN HAMMOND THIS PAST YEAR IN MEMORY OF HIM. HE SURE HITS NORTHWEST INDIANA TO A TEE.

I fell in love with the guy the first time I heard. I was then living near Boston, It was difficult getting good reception from New York, but Jean was worth the hassle of testing a plug-in radio for the best reception in all the plugs in the house. That method usually brought forth some of his wonderful words; his priceless humor. In 1961, I listened to him often and clearly while I was a grad student at Rutgers. Those were the days. I hope that this web site(which I haven't fully explored as yet) will offer his recorded genre for purchase. Jean's unforgettable stories and humor. One of my favorite stories that appeared in Playboy is A Pocketfull of Fig Newtons.
I am very happy to have tapped into Google which brought me to this master humorist and story teller.

Mr. Shepherd was an incredible personality, and way before his time. His insight to humanity, and "the way we are" was portrayed so vividly.... i've missed him. Hoping when i return home for a visit this spring, i'll get a chance to see the new center. Congratulations, Hammond! You're recognizing an important member of your history! And, thanx Mommy Mary, for sharing this site with me. All my best,
kat
