UI #41 - Conrad Cantzen's Shoes

Conrad Cantzen died in 1945 and is long forgotten, but his shoe fund still lives on.  Listen to the story of this bizarre provision in this down-on-his-luck actor's handwritten will.  Also learn which celebrity has earned a star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame in all five of its categories, the US Postal Service's 1908 Valentine problem, Andrew de Stefano's surprise telegram, and pretty Patsy Puckett's Jaguar mystery.  Retrosponsor: Colgate Tooth Powder.
