Going through the radio lists tomorrow or Saturday. When I do, I'll see what I can find I'll also add Sparer to the list of Hoppers (as Lloyd and Wayland are already hoppers.).

[Paul Raven]

Lesley Woods was in Young Dr Malone earlier than 62. Probably 1960 as Variety Feb 61 has her listed as doing double duty in a play.

[Paul Raven]

Add 

Leon Janney  Second Mrs Burton 1959

[slick jones]

 

Both put in  the revised "Hoppers"

 

 Once I scan through my  300 pages of radio, I'll post the next batch. I should start them Saturday night.

 

Thanks for all the info you find and share @Paul Raven!   I appreciate all you do!

[Paul Raven]

And thank you for all your efforts Slick. Great stuff!
