The 1954 WLS Family Album:
"Arkie" (Luther Ossenbrink)
| Curator's note: Luther Ossenbrink ("Arkie") was about as durable as they came at the Prairie Farmer station. You can also see him featured in the 1932, 1934 and 1941 WLS Family Albums. |
| Right: Arkie, the Woodchopper, looking for something to catch the ears of listeners, examines sheet music of new song. |  |
 |
Left: To Arkie, relaxing at home usually means planning the next ourdoors jaunt with Vera and Laddy the pup. He loves hunting, fishing, tennis, bowling, horses and dogs. His first job: playing guitar and fiddle for a square dance at $4.00 for six hours. "Mrs. Arkie" was Vera Firth, Perry county, Ill. |
