At the time our book was published, we knew of four Christmas Seal campaign records on which Mr. Stewart appeared – 1958, 1961, 1963 and 1964. Now, we can add 1962 to that list. The message delivered by Stewart is the same one which appeared on the 1961 disc and would subsequently also be used…
Jimmy Stewart Speaks on Behalf of Lake Arrowhead Boy Scout Camps
Let’s begin with a little background on this recording. C. P. MacGregor owned and operated a recording company in Los Angeles.

In the play, Stewart played the role of…
