I've been listening to the CBS Radio Mystery Theatre since the mid 1970's; when I would struggle to get it from a Kitchener Ontario radio station called Big Country.  And this was sometimes while sitting up against an antique radio in my parents living room.  Later, Hamilton's CHML carried the show on Sundays.  I love it and this is one of my favorite stories.  Anything with Fred Gwynne is superb!
