Lon and Kathryn Stucker will be happy to meet you and show you around the original Dick Huddleston Store and Lum and Abner Museum. They have a new website and are currently preparing to reopen for the 2010 season! Click the link to learn more! LUM AND ABNER MUSEUM What does Popeye have to do with Lum and Abner? We've heard that before! For many years, the founders and members of the Official Popeye Fanclub assisted with the NLAS Conventions, and we've returned the favor in Chester, Illinois at their annual Popeye Picnic Banquets. Check out this fun club here: OFFICIAL POPEYE FANCLUB Sadly, the 1995-2010 CHS-TV radio show, The Golden Age of Radio, was canceled as of December 29, 2009 by KZQX Radio. Why? Will it ever return? Who knows! We suggest you visit their station on-line anyway for great music 24 hours a day. If you want to hear Lum and Abner and other OTR classics, contact them. And if you want to hear a new version of The Golden Age of Radio, let them know! KZQX There will be no more Golden Age of Radio Marathons produced by CHS-TV, but you can still visit their website and see what kind of student productions are being posted there by the two people who replaced "old Uncle Donnie" who retired January 15. Sorry - no more OTR programming! Of course, if you wish, you may contact them and let them know your programming desires. CHS-TV Tell fokes ya heered about these places from this site! We'd shore 'preciate it. NLAS "ZECKATIF OSSIFERS": "Uncle Donnie" Pitchford, President "Singin' Sam Brown, Vice-President Tim Hollis, Executive Secretary |

February 2010: We have decided to combine the original NLAS website with this one. As you may have read elsewhere, the original webmaster, Jim Temple, passed away recently. We wish the Temple family well during this difficult time. CLICK TO READ JIM TEMPLE TRIBUTE Soon, it will again be possible to join the National Lum and Abner Society, an organization that first accepted members in 1984. There are differences now. We no longer publish The Jot 'Em Down Journal as a printed periodical; however, that means membership is now FREE! To read information, both new and old, from our on-line Jot 'Em Down Journal, click our link "The Journal" above! Here is what we are planning: You may visit these pages anytime you wish to check for updates. The one thing we will ask is you register your membership by e-mailing us your name and address. In this way we can keep you informed of any new developments. Your information will not be shared with anyone else. You have our promise. We do require you register your membership to qualify for the items we will offer for sale within these pages. Incidentally, all items are sanctioned by Lum and Abner Associates, the holders of the registered trademark. Check our above link to "The Shelves" for information on what will eventually be available! You can't order or join just yet, though! We're still "under construction!" When do we hope to be ready? Unfortunately, the work schedules and family situations of the "ossifers" have prevented the "hobby time" needed to finalize these plans. That will be changing soon we hope! |
| This is how Lum and Abner looked in 1956 when their radio show started broadcasting in full color. In fact, they were the only color radio show on the air for many years. Just checking to see if you were paying attention! Ha! |
