Title:    “Aunt Min sez” radio scripts, ca.1941

Creator:  Wisler, Marian Root.

Repository:  LancasterHistory.org (Lancaster, Pa.)

Description:   More than fifty scripts for the WGAL radio show, “Aunt Min Sez,” were saved in this scrapbook. Aunt Min, the homespun character, shared anecdotes about holidays, the weather, church, dieting, learning to ride a bicycle, Atlantic City, a bat in the house, house cleaning, and various other subjects. Her stories combined humor with down-to-earth philosophy about life and provided entertainment for readers and listeners.

Mrs. Marian Root Wisler, of Columbia, Pennsylvania began publishing “Aunt Min Sez” as a newspaper column in November 1938. The fifteen minute radio scripts were written and read by Mrs. Wisler, who was sometimes joined by Mrs. Wilbur Laird portraying “Jen.” The show aired Thursday mornings at 10am on WGAL radio and the scripts were published in The Columbia Broadcaster.
