I loved CBSRMT so much I named my childhood dog "Marshall". :-)

If there are any rabid EG Marshall fans around I could upload some original contracts he signed earlier in his career. I also bought and scanned some original press releases for CBSRMT shows. I'm such a OTR/NTR dork.

He did several (can't remember how many from rote) but Carol was probably the most significant role. The rest of the time it seems like he pinch hit in small parts that wouldn't be enough to bring another actor in.

Also check out General Mills Radio Adventure Theater (GMRAT) if you have kids around. It's like CBSRMT for the younger set. I don't remember if Himan Brown produced it, but the feel/structure is similar.
