On March 18, 1894, Buchanan was born in Benton, Iowa, as Paul Stuart Buchanan. The son of a Presbyterian minister, he received his undergraduate degree at Wooster College. He taught English and coached basketball at the University of West Virginia, then switched to Florida University, where he started the school's 5000-watt radio station.
Buchanan earned a Ph.D. at Harvard before giving up the education business in favor of what he called "making a living." He went to Hollywood and became a character in tough-guy acting roles and took on a job as director of the Pasadena Play House. In May of 1930, he took a job as program director at radio station KHJ in Los Angeles, where he directed episodes of the "Hollywood Hotel" and "Lux Radio Theatre."
Walt Disney hired Buchanan as a dialogue and casting director at the Disney studios in Hollywood and put him in charge of all foreign versions of Disney productions. Buchanan was the voice of "The Huntsman" in the 1937 Disney animated film "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs." Managing the foreign versions of Disney films took him to Europe and South America to translate "Snow White" into ten languages. Buchanan also had cameo voiceover roles as a flight attendant in "Saludos Amigos" (1942) and "Super-Speed" (1935), and he voiced Goofy in "The Mickey Mouse Theater of the Air" (1938).
In New York radio, Buchanan produced and directed many network shows. He was head of the script department and program supervision for American Broadcasting Co. before moving to Cleveland in 1947 to produce "The Ohio Story" radio and TV series sponsored by Ohio Bell Telephone Co. He also took on directing the radio and television department of McCann-Erickson advertising agency's offices in Cleveland. He remained in Cleveland for the rest of his life.
"The Ohio Story" ran state-wide from 1947 to 1955 on radio and 1953 to 1961 on TV. At the time, the filmed series held the record as the longest-running scripted radio and TV program in the nation. In more than 2,500 "Ohio Story" shows, Buchanan never missed a rehearsal or a program. Buchanan worked tirelessly with actors, musicians, and sound technicians to get precisely the right shade of meaning into every sequence. He made actors out of bank clerks, students, and homemakers. Buchanan picked Robert Waldrop, a nationally known radio personality, to narrate the "Ohio Story" radio series. He convinced Hollywood actor Nelson Olmsted, known for his adaptations of terror tales by Edgar Allen Poe and science-fantasy stories, to commute to Cleveland for seven years to host, narrate and act in the "Ohio Story" TV episodes and the final two years of the "Ohio Story" radio series.
In an article in the June 25, 1958, Columbus Dispatch, Buchanan talked about his love and loyalty to Ohio and the "Ohio Story" series: "There has never been - or will be, a radio series that commanded the respect and attention of this state, or, for that fact, the nation. The "Ohio Story" reached its peak in the heyday of radio... the late 1940s. Only one show in the nation had a higher rating ... that was the Jack Benny show. I guess of all the things I've done in my lifetime; I'm most proud to have had a hand in developing and producing "The Ohio Story."
Buchanan was married twice. His first wife was Anna Hall Hilditch (December 28, 1900 - November 10, 1987). His second wife was Rita Whearty (November 19, 1919 - March 31, 2009).
Buchanan died on February 4, 1974, in Cleveland, Ohio.- Victoria Karnafel was born on 19 November 1956 in Cleveland, Ohio, USA. She was an actress, known for The Deer Hunter (1978). She died on 22 March 2004 in Cleveland, Ohio, USA.

Ronald Sweed (The Ghoul) grew up in Cleveland, and would use his admiration for Ghoulardi (Ernie Anderson), a popular Cleveland television personality, into a career. When Anderson made an appearance at a local amusement park (Euclid Beach Park), the adoring 13-year-old Sweed was in the crowd wearing a gorilla suit. Ghoulardi called him up to the stage where an unscripted "skit" took place. Anderson was so impressed with the 13 year old Sweed that he worked part-time for Anderson.
When "Ghoulardi" ran it's course, Anderson moved to Los Angeles. Sweed thought there was still life in the idea of a crazy, zany host for B movies for youngsters that he begged Anderson to return. Anderson refused. Sweed's only choice was to try it himself. Since "Ghoulardi" was copyrighted he dropped the "ardi" and went with "The Ghoul". Things didn't go well at first. Most kids though it was a bad attempt at imitating a much loved Ghoulardi. Sweed changed things up by being less of beatnik-like character, blowing anything and everything up firecrackers and updating the catch phrases from the 50's to the 60's. The combined effect of the chaos and firecrackers made him such a hit that Kaiser Broadcasting, which owned stations in Cleveland, Detroit, San Francisco, Boston and elsewhere, decided to syndicate the Ghoul. But Sweed could only duplicate his fame in Detroit.
Soon, television would change, NBC's "Saturday Night Live" would suck the oxygen out of the Saturday night time period after 1975. Television stations found it easier to sell infomercials in the late night hours. He would appear on and off on local stations in Detroit and Cleveland.During the last few years, he would make occasional appearances at metro Detroit clubs.- Imogene Bliss was born on 24 February 1918 in Cleveland, Ohio, USA.

- He made his first major league start in August, striking out 15 St. Louis Browns. A month later, he set an American League rookie record fanning 17 Philadelphia Athletics in a game. Upon completion of his rookie campaign, Feller returned home to Iowa to finish his senior year of high school - his graduation was covered by NBC Radio.
Feller really began to hit his stride after his 19th birthday, rattling off a string of three straight 20-win seasons. It was during this time that Senators' manager Bucky Harris conveyed the following strategy to his players when facing Feller: "Go on up there and hit what you see. If you can't see it, come on back."
Just days after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, Feller put aside his 3-C draft deferment status and enlisted in the US Navy. With this selfless act, he gave up nearly four seasons of baseball in the prime of his career. But Feller had no regrets.
At the conclusion of the war, Feller returned to the game and picked up right where he left off, averaging more than 19 wins a season over the next six years. - Writer

Fenton William Earnshaw was born in Duluth, St. Louis County, MN on 2 August 1912 to Harry Alfred Earnshaw (1878-1953) and Vena Minnie, nee Radtke (1877-1959). Both of his parents are buried at Forest Lawn Cemetery in Glendale, California. He attended UCLA, then known as "the Southern Campus", graduating in 1936 with a BA in Political Science. He was the president of the Blackstonians, a "pre-legal society" and a member of the Sigma Nu fraternity. He was also a colonel in the ROTC. He married Dorcas Abbott Brown on 7 June 1938 in Orange County, California. They had a son named Peter, born 12 March 1943. Dorcas died in September, 1994. When he registered for the draft on 16 October 1940, he and Mrs. Earnshaw resided at 1520 Surf Avenue in Balboa, California. Their phone number was NEwport-1895. He initially joined the Army in WWII, but, he told the Los Angeles Times in a 22 December 1952 article, he switched to the Navy, "and eventually found himself commanding a landing craft. He received a summons to report to Washington and before he knew what had happened was assigned to the OSS [Office of Strategic Services, predecessor to the CIA]." "One of his first assignments was to land in Formosa and blow up a Japanese naval dock." He escaped by posing as member of a Chinese burial party. USN records from 1944 list Earnshaw as a Lt. JG as of July, 1943. As for writing for the early TV series Biff Baker, U.S.A. (1952), starring Alan Hale Jr., Earnshaw further told the Times that he took inspiration for the story lines from his own experiences in the OSS and his father's scripts from the radio series, "Chandu the Magician". Earnshaw's first script for 77 Sunset Strip (1958) was Iron Curtain Caper (1958), with Kurt Kreuger as a German agent named John Luder. The last script that Earnshaw is credited with was a 1961 two-part episode of 77 Sunset Strip (1958). He moved to Honolulu in 1963 and lived in the Ala Wai Boat Harbor aboard his 40' ketch, the "Vena M", named for his mother. He also spent several years in Tahiti, writing, and was fluent in French He worked variously for the Hawaii Department of Education, and radio stations KTRG and KGMB. In February of 1970, he flew to the Cleveland Clinic Hospital for cardiac surgery, and was accompanied by his brother, Harry. The surgery was deemed successful, but complications set in, including pneumonia. On 6 March, Earnshaw suffered cardiac arrest and remained unconscious until his death on the 11th. His son, Peter, was also at his side. He was cremated in Cleveland. Funeral services were held at the First Presbyterian Church in Honolulu, and in accordance with his wishes, his ashes were scattered in the ocean off Kona.- Siberian Husky who rose to fame as the lead sled dog in Gunnar Kaasen's team that arrived in Nome, Alaska, in early February of 1925, delivering vials of serum to the city, then stricken with a diphtheria epidemic. The call went out for the serum in January 1925 from Nome, where children were dying of diphtheria, and at the time, the only way to deliver the serum was by dog sled.
Kaasen's team was the last of several involved in a 1,348-mile relay of the serum, during which many dogs died from exhaustion, frostbite and general exposure. Kaasen and his dogs, led by Balto, traveled 106 miles through subzero temperatures and icy blizzards and arrived in Nome in the early morning hours of February 2, 1925. They were the subject of much attention later that day by the press, photographers, and even a French film crew.
News of the serum run and the many children saved by the efforts of the men and their dogs spread quickly across the nation and Balto became a heroic symbol to many. A statue of his likeness was erected in Central Park in New York City as well as in Anchorage, Alaska. He was even cast in a few Hollywood movies of the day and with other members of the teams, he eventually became a part of a one-of-a-kind exhibit in a Cleveland Zoo. Late in his life, he suffered increasing blindness, arthritis, and general effects of old age and was euthanized on March 14, 1933. His body was preserved for display at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History. - Actor

- Philip Bartlett grew up in the suburbs of Cleveland, Ohio, and began his acting career while he was still in high school at various community playhouses in the area. At age 20, when he heard the movie, Brubaker, was being filmed in a small Ohio town, he camped out in the hotel lobby where the film people were staying and talked the producers into a part as an extra. They reportedly liked that Philip looked like "a starving prisoner". He eventually was given a line in the movie as the Young Reporter at the end of the film. He followed the film crew to Chicago to work on Blues Brothers, where he was an extra and the lighting stand-in for Dan Akroyd. When the Blues Brothers crew went to Hollywood to finish the filming, Philip went with them. While in Los Angeles, Philip worked as an extra in both television and film.

Big Maybelle was born on 1 May 1924 in Jackson, Tennessee, USA. She died on 23 January 1972 in Cleveland, Ohio, USA.- Sekou Toure, longtime ruler of the African nation of Guinea, was born Ahmed Sékou Touré in Faranah, Guinea (which, at the time, was a colony called French Guinea) on Jan. 9, 1922. A member of the Mandinka tribe, Toure came from a line of warriors, and in fact his great-grandfather Samory Toure was a national hero who had led resistance against the French until he was finally captured.
In order to pay for his education, Toure took a job with the national postal service, and soon became involved in the labor-union movement. He helped to found the Postal Workers Union in 1945, and became deeply involved in Guinean nationalist politics. He became the leader of the Guinean Democratic Party, which advocated the independence of Guinea and the departure of all colonial powers from Africa. In 1956 he was elected as Guinea's representative to the French National Assembly and became mayor of Conakry, Guinea's capital. He used both positions to work against French occupation of the country.
In 1958 France held a referendum in its African colonies to determine if they wanted to stay in the French Union. Toure's influence in Guinean politics resulted in the colony voting to leave the French Union, the only one to do so. The French government, which was caught off guard by Guinea's voting to leave, had no choice but to grant the country its independence and grudgingly did so in 1958. Toure was made President, and set about consolidating his power. In 1960 he declared his political party, the PDG, the only legal one in the country.
Toure governed Guinea from a decidedly Marxist point of view, a philosophy he had come to believe in while involved in the labor-union movement. He nationalized businesses and industries controlled by foreign governments and/or companies and developed an economic strategy for the country based on a strong central-planning authority. He also jailed or exiled any and all opponents. While personally popular among Guineans, his economic and governing policies were beginning to disappoint large numbers of them, who saw little if any improvement in their economic and political situations. By the late 1960s there was growing resentment of and opposition to his rule, and his government became more repressive, with more opponents being jailed or fleeing into exile. Toure's relations with France soured, and in 1965 he severed all ties with the country, moving closer to the Soviet Union. However, by 1978 his relationship with that country had deteriorated, and when France's Valéry Giscard d'Estaing approached Toure with a plan for a state visit by the French president to his country to repair relations, Toure accepted. Realistically, he had little choice: his main ally among Africa's leaders, Ghana's Kwame Nkrumah, was overthrown in 1966 in a military coup, and other than the president of Mali and a few others, most African leaders were decidedly cold to him. Toure not only offered Nkrumah asylum but made him co-president of the country. Both he and Nkrumah helped form the All-African Peoples Revolutionary Party to help free the remaining African colonies from their European owners. The group funded and gave support to a rebel group fighting Portuguese forces in the neighboring colony of Portuguese Guinea. The Portuguese did not take that lying down, so to speak, and in 1970 the Portuguese military mounted an attack on Conakry, ostensibly to rescue Portuguese POWs who had been turned over to Toure by the guerrillas, but in reality the main objective was to overthrow Toure's regime and capture or kill him. They did manage to rescue their POWs, but their other objective remained unaccomplished.
Toure's relations with the US were rocky, but when US President John F. Kennedy came to power in 1960, Toure was impressed with his outlook on Africa, what he considered a refreshing change from the policies of his predecessor, and his policies on civil rights in the US, and relations warmed considerably. A spate of labor troubles in Guinea in 1962 gave Toure the opportunity he was looking for: he blamed the troubles on Soviet meddling, broke relations with them and began to adopt a more pro-American policy.
However, after Kennedy's assassination in 1963, relations with the US took a turn for the worse. He came to the belief that the American CIA was plotting his overthrow and execution, and when a Guinean delegation to the new government in Ghana was thrown in prison, Toure took that to mean that the CIA's "plot" against him had begun. His regime retreated into a state of paranoia, with mass arrests and imprisonment of opponents, both real and imagined, in detention camps, where many were tortured and killed (estimates are as high as 50,000). Tens of thousands of Guineans fled to neighboring countries. Eventually he came to his senses, and in 1978 he formally renounced Marxism as the official state policy and forged closer ties to the West.
Toure was "re-elected" as President in 1982, in an election in which his party was the only one allowed and in which he ran unopposed, and the country adopted a new constitution. Toure visited the US in the summer of 1982 seeking political and economic aid, and announced a program of economic reforms toward a more free-market economy.
On March 26, 1984, Toure died while undergoing treatment for heart problems at a clinic in Cleveland, OH. His Prime Minister, Louis Lansana Beavogui, was appointed to replace him, but less than a month later he was overthrown in an army coup. - Ernie Davis was born on 14 December 1939 in New Salem, Pennsylvania, USA.
