A READER WRITES
About Jack Paar

Reader Maureen B. writes:

My father-in-law used to own an electronics shop in Westport, Conn.

One day Jack Paar walked in. [Ed.: Paar was living in Greenwich, Conn., at the time of his death.] My father-in-law told Mr. Paar he was testing a tape recorder and would he mind helping him out on the test?

Jack Paar smiled and said, “I know what you're trying to do,” but he took the microphone and said, “You’re listening to Jack Paar coming to you from The Radio Shop.”

I think he still has that tape.

I’d love to hear it.
