We lived in Buffalo at the time and I remember reading an article in the Buffalo Evening News that listed the dozens of contest winners from the Buffalo area.Dave Sullivanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07678083464524104692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972583102562463073.post-3516376214692410512011-04-05T23:18:41.250-07:002011-04-05T23:18:41.250-07:00Fantastic webpage!

I was listening to THE CLAW OF VENUS, which I'm sure you know is the episode broadcast on 1-9-54 (the year of my birth) in which they announced the long-awaited winner of THE NAME THE PLANET CONTEST. I wanted to see if I could find a site that might tell me the name, and possibly even show me a photo, of the winner before I heard it announced. When I found this site, it was like hitting the motherlode! Filled with photographs by LIFE photographers no less, and interesting text to go along with them. More than I could have asked for. WELL DONE and THANK YOU!!Papasaurushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03689552548336522153noreply@blogger.com
