DETROIT MEMORIES NEWSLETTER

DECEMBER 2009 CONTEST

CONTEST & WINNERS

~ ~ ~ ~

WHO AM I?

I was born in 1916 in Witchita, Kansas.

At the age of four, I earned $50 a week as a kiddie comedian

on the Orpheum vaudeville circuit. I was a magician's assistant at

age 12 and even travelled the country as a boy evangelist.

I appeared on TV in Detroit from 1955 to 1964.

I carried my TV partner for nearly 10 years,

but he would probably tell you that he was the talented one.

  Though diminiutive in stature, I was known for my

friendly grin and storytelling abilities.

ANSWER:  Ted Lloyd / Sagebrush Shorty

His sidekick was Skinny Dugan
