<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bakersgma, post: 242461, member: 59&quot;]I really don&#039;t know, although collecting autographs by mail certainly would have been easier (for most US fans.) Usually the letter would ask for an autographed picture - at least for movie stars. Radio personalities (if that&#039;s the theme) might not have &quot;pictures&quot; so sending them something to sign and return is at least a possibility. I have no idea whether someone in the UK would have even heard these people over the airwaves.</p><p><br /></p><p>As you can see, I&#039;m back!</p><p><br /></p><p>That probate case I mentioned turned out to be a dud as far as Lucile Biggerstaff was concerned. Found out that the one in the case was Lucile Perry prior to marriage and in 1940 was still single and living with her mother Gertrude Perry, the owner of the Leland Hotel in Springfield, Illinois. She did not marry George Biggerstaff until later - making it unlikely that she would have signed this hankie.</p><p><br /></p><p>Tried Ancestry census records for another Lucile Biggerstaff without any reasonable result. Had the same problem with Harry G Mills and Harold Slaton - none that was either an organist (Mills) or a Methodist minister (Slaton) in 1940.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
