AH HA!!!!!!!!!!   I thought I was going out of my everlovin' 
cottonpickin' mind when is saw someone who I swear looked and sounded 
like Westbrook Van Voorhis identifying himself as Hugh Conrad in a film 
short showing a Rubinoff program being broadcast and recorded.  The 
first time I saw it a couple of years ago I had just nudged Leah and 
said "that's Westbrook Van Voorhis" when he said he was Hugh Conrad.  
Talk about being taken down a peg in the eyes of your daughter.  Thank 
you for restoring my reputation in her mind -- she's here on a rare 
visit to Kentucky. 

By the way, here is that film.  http://www.archive.org/details/OntheAir1937
