WML's producers had an affinity for employed boys.
Henry Makow appeared n 1962 when he wrote his column for parents;
here is Ray Valentine's memorable appearance
Larry Leake, the 8 year old trick billiards player, appeared on the first 1966 WML color episode.
And the night that Frank Sinatra swooped in as a mystery guest-panelist one of the contestants was a 10 year old boy from the Metropolitan Opera children chorus.
This is my cousin Raymond, a bad-ass flyer who practiced pre-season at my family's farm in NJ! People would stop on the side of the road to watch Ray and Uncle Ray fly.
I was rather surprised at John's remark re. Ray's good manners. I thought all kids back in those days said "Sir" and "Ma'am" and acted politely.

By today's standards, his polite manners and respect for adults are absolutely astonishing.

It is common to call any male under the age of 18 (or 21 in some cases) Master before the reach manhood then they can be called Mister.

That is correct derfla1977, although I used to resent it. I wanted to be called mister like all children trying to act grown up.

Judging from Ray Valentine photos on the web, I think that this is the same Ray Valentine. He has great manners, as well.
