The Crystalline Man (Aired January 1, 1962)

INTRO: Bob Camardella Plays Wayne Newton's "Summer Wind" (1965)

This original series was created by FEN's assistant director for production, William Verdier.  Parts are filled locally, mainly by FEN staff members supplemented by local talent from various organizations in the Kanto area. The "Macabre" series is being distributed by the Armed Forces Radio and Television Service in Los Angeles for worldwide use by AFRTS outlets. The first program, titled "Final Resting Place," is the strange tale of what happens to a honeymooning couple when they stop in a small town for the night and visit a carnival. Macabre was produced in-house by the Tokyo studios of the Far East Network of the Armed Forces Radio and Television Service. Two Air Force personnel were most responsible for creating the series: William Verdier as writer, performer, and director; and Program Director and performer, John F. Buey, Jr.. Mr. Buey entered the Civilian Service from the old Yankee Radio Network, serving as Program Director of FEN Tokyo from its inception in 1946.
