Dear Mr. Edwards,

Local University of California professor Kenneth Hough has written a scholarly document detailing the February 23, 1942 Japanese submarine I-17 shelling of the Ellwood Oil Field. (There's a video documentary clip here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEew8seCX0Q .) I have attended two of professor Hough's very detailed lectures before the Goleta Historical Society in which he mentioned that entertainer Bob Hope staged a show at the Goleta Marine airfield about February 1943. He has been searching for a recording, or indeed any information, of this event.

It is in regard to this radio show that I am contacting you. I have searched very thoroughly for any information at all, but to date, have found nothing but these which are incorrect:

430209 - Broadcast from the Santa Anita Ordinance Center
430307 - Rehearsal for the Upcoming Pepsodent Show [Gardner field]

Marine Corps Supply Depot [Barstow] With - Bob Hope - The Bob Hope Show(3 - 29:28

Are you able to provide any information about Hope's show at the Goleta Marine base?

Thank you for any information you may be able to provide.

Best regards,
Larry Dighera

I'd like to echo my thanks. Your collection on IA is one of the best and I've enjoyed it immensely.
