And now to our transcribed drama, Retired, starring Edgar Buchanan as Joe. When Joe Hunter took the New Haven down to New York, he tried to think of everything, anything, but what the doctor's report would be. If the report was good, he and F.E. could take that vacation they planned up in Vermont. But if it wasn't good, well, they'd have to figure things out.

As I said, Mr. Hunter, with plenty of rest, not too much activity, and well, you know, just take things easy. You'll be as good as new before long. I see. Well, but what about my job, Dr. Johnson?

And that's hard for me to say. I mean you should retire. That's what I meant by taking it easy. But well, look, as a doctor I can only advise you. Oh sure. You're thinking about money.

And the third one's still at home with you and your wife, huh? No, no, Burke was killed in Korea. Oh, I'm sorry. But Pete, my younger boy, he's doing just fine. Got a new job, nice wife and baby.
