A clarification-- I should have mentioned that the Lawrence Eagle
Tribune and WLAW were both operated by Alexander Rogers; it was
Alexander (the father) who put WLAW on the air in 1937, with the help of
other members of the Rogers family, including his son Irving. (The
Hildreth & Rogers company name was more historical than actual-- Frank
Hildreth had died way back in 1909.) But when Alexander died in 1942,
his son Irving took over, and it was he who made the decision to sell
WLAW in 1953.
