| A 1968-04-09 handout/ad for
WJET personalities that
included Oogie Pringle |
When I returned to Vernondale Elementary School in Erie, PA for the first day of 4th grade, Steve Schloss (I think now a doctor) had cut out a picture of a local radio personality and was walking around the class saying his name and laughing. It was Oogie Pringle. "Oogie Pringle" was a character in 1948's A Date With Judy. I'm not sure how Erie's Oogie obtained the name. I think Erie must have been a step down, since he was formerly with WNBC in New York.
Here's Oogie in 1975 in WNBC in New York...
I remember saying about that time, if not at that moment, "Weebles wobble but they don't fall down," which received great laughs from my fellow 4th graders, especially Beth Williams, whom I wanted to marry.
