Joe Julian was a hero to many and I always thought his radio work was particularly outstanding. I had the opportunity to correspond with him after his book came out. He was very gracious and I sent him some shows of which he said he had never heard. "How strange to hear myself again after all these years." He was most proud of his work with Norman Corwin and suggested "Hearthstone of the Death Squad was the worst show on the air."

Joseph Julian starred in "Peter Gunn" -- one of my all time favorites.

I've always just loved Mr Julian's acting. The Locomotive Ghost is my favorite although If you was a Mocklin, the one about the machine that tells you everything. Can't remember off hand. But his voice is legendary and epic. Iconic. One of the best in generations. One of the top radio actors of all time. That voice is so animated and mesmerizing. I'm so glad to have had the honor and privilege to listen to the legend Joe Julian.
