I'm going to guess at this one without looking it up.
My guess would be the blimp hangar in Akron on Rt. 224
Lockheed Martin is currently using that hangar to make high altitude balloons.
I wouldn't mind working for Lockheed again.

I would say Fran Striker as I know he did a radio program in Cleveland. No clue on where he originated from so will guess and say Toledo, just because it is NW.  |

Ralph Goll was born at Stryker in Williams County in 1899. His family lived at various other locations in NW Ohio as he was growing up, including Swanton, Montpelier, and Nettle Lake areas. He wrote scripts for The Lone Ranger during the "Golden Age of Radio", fifteen of which were later turned into TV scripts. Additionally writing books and magazine articles, Ralph Goll passed away in New York on New Years Day, 1957 and is buried in Goll Cemetery, located in the Goll Woods State Nature Preserve near Archbold/Stryker in Fulton County, Ohio.
