                <text>In 2009, BBRM staff and volunteers began the archiving of this collection, with the arranging of objects chronologically (1935 – 1995) and the purchasing of proper archival storage materials. In 2011, an oral finding aid with provenance was constructed by conversations between University of Alabama School of Library and Information Studies (UA SLIS) volunteer Lindsey Reynolds (now at University of Georgia, Athens Library) and BBRM Director Bob Friedman. In 2013 and 2014, those interviews were transcribed by UA SLIS volunteer Michael Mitchell (known affectionately as the MMT).  For each object, the original finding aid conversation has been added and can be found in quotes in the description section. As of the most recent online uploading in August, 2019, the Ephemera Collection consisted of eight boxes containing 413 folders with approximately 850 files, spanning the period 1935-1989.</text>

              <text>Box 1 Folder 33: "This is box 1 folder 33, which is an 8x10 and a copy of the 8x10 of Bob Umbach, the broadcaster of the Atomic Boogie Hour. Any information about Bob, his dates of birth and passing may be in the interview with his daughter, which we have an interview of somewhere in our audio files. We do know that he was with WJLD from ’46 to ‘53 and then moved to WMBM in Miami.  Roy Wood Sr. did suggest that the Johnston family owned WMBM as well. We do know that he passes somewhere in North Carolina; it was Asheville, North Carolina, and that may have been in the late 80s or early 90s. There was a story to the effect that Bob Umbach was very attractive to Jane Russell and that she would visit him. I heard that from more than one person although I do not recall who. Also there are pictures of Bob working with A.G. Gaston in the spelling bee contests, which were broadcast on WJLD. We will probably reach those pictures in the early 50s, late 40s, about 1950. This picture was sent to us by, it was rolled up and given to us by Ben Franklin when he came for one of his many interviews in the early 1990's."</text>
