JENKINTOWN, Pennsylvania — Tim G. has obtained two classic Chicago Cardinals videos from Rare Sportsfilms, Inc., each showcasing Joe Boland's sportscasting craft in the two years prior to his untimely death in 1960. The 1958 and 1959 Season Highlights videos were both originally sponsored by the Falstaff Brewing Corporation of St. Louis, Missouri.
Boland
Description
My media gallery reformatting project has led me to the Boland family, and in particular to one of the family tree's most famous inhabitants: Notre Dame sports radio and television personality Joe Boland. In this episode, I cover my family's ties to "Mr. B", his college life, and career as both a coach and a radio announcer. Then we'll hear a pair of 1954 broadcasts featuring the man himself.
Description
Although the summer of 2022 has been highly productive, I did not manage to complete even three of my six challenges. I did, however, make some progress cataloging soldiers buried at the Philadelphia National Cemetery's Mexican War Monument. I did visit a local cemetery with my brother and his kids. I did get back some Y-DNA results. I did solve a long-standing family history mystery. I did do some seaside genealogy in Atlantic County, New Jersey. So even though I did not manage to complete even half of my challenges. I still call this summer of research a success. Why? Because it's my show. I do what I want. ? Links in the show notes.
