Show Notes:
1. My teacher for the second half of first grade was named Mrs. Schiller, I think. And if you haven’t read any mysteries, thrillers, westerns or anything else by Loren Estleman, you’re missing out.
2. The Backdoor Pilot appeared in Episode 50, “The Shady Aviator.”

Credits:
The opening music was from The Sun Sets at Dawn (1950) and the closing music was from Killer Bait (1949), both films in the public domain. Most of the music and sound effects used in the episode are modified or incomplete versions of the originals.
