The Long Island Home Front is an oral history project being conducted by the LI Radio &amp; TV Historical Society (LIRTVHS), Sayville Historical Society and Sayville Public Library. Our mission is to preserve and share memories of Long Island during World War II and we will be sharing portions of interviews via the Radio Tower podcast of LIRTVHS. Today, Jack Beebe, native of West Sayville, describes how the Dutchies who had been fishing off the South Shore for generations, contributed to the war effort. If you or anyone you know would like to share their memories of Long Island during WWII, contact us via lirtvhs,org/homefront. And learn more about our partner, The National Home Front Project at Washington College's Starr Center.

Long Island Home Front: Jack Beebe and West Sayville 

Jack Beebe calls himself "Mr. Backstage" but in terms of radio and television history in New York since the 1950s, he's had a front row seat. He started as a teen disk jockey on WALK in East Patchouge, worked alongside Barbara Walters and the future Allison "The Nightbird" Steele at WPIX-TV, kept watch over Murray the K at WINS...and that's not even mentioning his time broadcasting in Korea or the blood sweating hippopotamus.
