MORE FROM THE EVERTHING CROTON MAILBOX

A reader is trying to remember some sort of radio program that was featured here involving Croton's Howard Da Silva and the Christmas season but can't find it. Help!

Response: You probably mean this one---Croton's Howard Da Silva appeared in 26 episodes of CBS Radio Mystery Theater--the episode in question was A Very Private Miracle--"A very moving story about a cranky old man and a little girl trying to persuade him to play Santa Claus."  Hear it at https://www.cbsrmt.com/episode/191-a-very-private-miracle.html
