• NEWS ABOUT THE SONS OF THE PIONEERS
October 18, 1944 was a very happy day for S/Sgt. and Mrs. Lloyd Perryman. Why? On this eventful date, the stork dropped a little stranger down in Hollywood. The Lloyd Perrymans are the proud parents of a son - Wayne Lloyd Perryman. From all reports, little Wayne looks like his famous daddy.
Lloyd has had his address changed again:

• Every Tuesday night at 5:30 PM Pacific War Time, over the Mutual Network, is a swell new show, sponsored by Goodyear Rubber Company. The stars of the show are Roy Rogers and the Sons of the Pioneers. The program was started the 21st of November.
• Seems there was a big 6th War Bond Drive and Parade and the Pioneers were in it. They had a big "prairie schooner" with the top down and had a public address system attached. The parade itself was strung out a bit, not enough bands, etc, but that gave the boys a better chance to furnish plenty of welcome music and the street rang with their warbling. They led off the "Pioneer" division and, since that was immediately followed by a very colorful Mexican group - they combined Western songs with Spanish ones and the effect was really swell.
