@Gravida12 I used to watch Betty Lou yet I was very young. In 1955 I was one year old! Lived In Humboldt,Iowa.

I grew up in Ames in the 1960s, and at different times had both Betty Lou and Earle Raun as neighbors. Kudos to ISU Special Collections--nice library outreach work.

I loved watching magic window when I was a little girl. That's where I first watched Felix the Cat! Lol!
