          Nope, it was San Francisco. He did a radio show called "Candi Matson-YU2=8209" She was a private detective and the phone number was Yukon 2-8209. He moved to LA to do radio "Dragnet" with a well-known San Francisco actor Barton Yarborough who was the FIRST partner of Friday. Yarborough did the first TV show and died before they could do any more. The first radio and TV show were the same. A guy walked in to city hall with a bomb attached. Last line by Yarborough to Webb after he fell getting to the bomb was "clumsy".

          That's some interesting background. I never knew about any of that.

          I remember the very first radio show and was glued to the set. It was exciting and it was great.

          That's where Dragnet started as a "summer replacement" in those days.
