- Gilbert Verba (1912-1964) was a KOA Denver Radio announcer in the 1940s
- This correspondence (and other listed items) were from an Idaho fan named Elmore G. Gilmore
- Though he was obviously extremely talented, we cannot find a professional connection of any kind
- Elmore (electrician) and his wife Blanche appear in the 1940 census in Wallace, Idaho
