This time on Ron's Amazing Stories, we bring you a special Box 13 double feature suggested by listener Pete Toreck from Miami, Florida. We kick things off with the very first adventure Dan Holiday ever tackled, The First Letter. Then we follow it up with one of the most listened-to stories of the entire run, The Professor and The Puzzle. Between the two tales, we take a humorous look at the advice columnists of the 1950s—those brave souls who solved life's everyday mysteries one letter at a time. This episode also marks a milestone: we close out the last known radio acting done by Alan Ladd. Known is the key word—because the world of old-time radio is full of surprises. I may continue with more Box 13 stories in the future, and if you know of any Ladd broadcasts I haven't covered, let me know! In This Episode Box 13 – "The First Letter" The pilot episode that sets Dan Holiday's unique career of adventure in motion. A Look at 1950s Advice Columnists A lighthearted break exploring the real-life letter-solvers of the era. Box 13 – "The Professor and The Puzzle" A classic episode featuring mystery, danger, and a reclusive professor. Alan Ladd Milestone Wrapping up the known Ladd broadcasts—with room for future discoveries.
