Thread Name: John Charles Thomas ID as 'Joseph Toner' refuted
Subject: RE: John Charles Thomas ID as 'Joseph Toner' refuted
Okay, I took Joe's advice and got rid of the variations on the thread name, so anyone doing a search would hit the whole thing and not bits of it. I left it with Kaiser's original name for a few posts, then went to "John Charles Thomas ID as 'Joseph Toner' refuted" and I'll leave it alone. I am tempted to make a list of all of the claims Valerie Kaiser (daughter or granddaughter - sometimes it is unclear) of Mr. Toner has made and run a giant "'Joseph Toner' isn't 'fill-in-the-blank'" thread.

In one paragraph here she claimed he was also

John Charles Thomas
Richard Torigi
Earl Wrightson
Guy Robertson (harder to find, he did a lot of radio and some film acting)
William Kent (also a bit obscure)

Over on Amazon she claims he wrote songs claimed by
Sheldon Harnick, the only one of the group still alive.
