I purchased a baby blanket (satin-backed, knitted) purportedly owned by Nanette Sergeant of Radio fame. Perhaps it belonged to Kimberly's (comment above) grandmother? I purchased it from an antique dealer in the 70's. It has been in my cedar chest for years.

Hi Rosemary,
I haven't visited this site in years but I'd love to hear more about the item you found.
Looking forward to connecting.

I came across some of the old radio shows they offer listeners. Knowing of a specific radio actress I'd like to listen to, I performed a Google search of old radio shows and came across this site.
Nannette Sargent was my grandmother. Unfortunately, she passed away before I was born. I must say, this site has been a delight to find. I have shared this site with my dad so he, too, is able to hear his mother's voice again.
Thank you for preserving old time radio for generations to come.

Kimberly - Your grandmother, Nanette Sargent, was either the sister or first cousin of my grandmother, Florence Sargent Burn. I'll try to find the exact connection when I have a bit more time. In the meantime, please do contact me if you wish. I would love to compare notes!

Hi Dan,
I haven't visited this site in years but I'd be interested in finding out more of what you uncovered.
Last year, I found some memorabilia that I gifted to my dad for Christmas. Happy to hear about more rare finds of my grandmother! My aunt lost a majority of her items in a house fire years ago.
Thanks!

Kimberly, I just posted a bio of your grandmother which appeared in the August 1946 issue of Radio Mirror magazine. I'll send it to you if I can find your email address!
