  6. Hello, Wayne Moises, thank you for your visit. Nice to know there is someone I can turn to whenever I need information about those years... I was a boy when Ben Casey & Dr Kildare were shown on TV, but as we didn't have a TV set I could only guess what the shows were about or sometimes I would watch an episode at an Auntie or a neighbour...
