Good for the radio station, I'll bet. I didn't find Betty, but a quick search found this from 1941. https://worldradiohistory.com/Archive-Station-Albums/WTAR-Norfolk-VA-1941.pdfAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429612700924625855.post-69515029506173737212021-06-14T12:31:58.721-04:002021-06-14T12:31:58.721-04:00The minute the band began to play I recognized the...The minute the band began to play I recognized the tune! My Mom used to sing it and I'm sure I've heard a recording of it on a record or cassette tape.

At that age, your mom and Dickie may have just been friends who collaborated on the ruse. Betty’s letter certainly describes Dickie well, which lends credence to your supposition. Great sleuthing, as always.Molly's Canopyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01571003887840906315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429612700924625855.post-41558875711757878862021-06-13T13:07:34.783-04:002021-06-13T13:07:34.783-04:00That's a terrific piece of radio ephemera with...That's a terrific piece of radio ephemera with the bonus of a real enigma too. Kind of like a Nancy Drew mystery. Of course I love that Betty includes a popular song title as well to give it a touch of romance. I wonder if she was part of a local band that played for a Pepsi-Cola sponsored show. It's strange that the job of “Pepsi-Cola Girl Friend” produces nothing anywhere in the newspaper archives. Need more sleuthing.
