Claudia Says Goodbye To Her Family (Aired August 29, 1943)
Did you know that the longest running serial drama in the history of radio was a heartwarming tale of life and love called One Man's Family? The show, written by Carlton E. Morse, told the stories of the Barbour family as they grew and changed against the backdrop of an ever-evolving world. The shows began airing in 1932, and followed the ups and downs of San Francisco stockbroker Henry Barbour, his wife Fanny, their five children and succeeding generations all the way up until 1959. Anthony Smythe played Henry Barbour to perfection for the show's entire 27-year run, taking him from strict patriarch to adoring great-grandfather. The family even had a stint on television - on NBC primetime from 1949 - 1952 and as a daytime serial from 1954 - 1955.
