"Ding Dong School - anybody remember Miss Frances?" (and Romper Room)

Well... I was WAY too old to follow the program, but I knew personally a "Miss Fran" who did Romper Room in Kansas. (I assumed the show had various local persons).


ahhhh...looked it up:

"Romper Room was a rare case of a series being franchised and syndicated, so local affiliates – Los Angeles and New York were prime examples – could produce their own versions of the show instead of airing the national telecast."

...and here is the one I knew.. Miss Fran ... she & her husband, Claude Lee were active in the Democratic party in Wichita in the 60s & 70s.
