I remember as a youngster sitting on the living room floor in our Brooklyn, New York cold-water flat watching this show on a blurry little black and white television along with my many Irish-Scotch relatives. We were all gathered to view my cousin's original live teleplay from a New York studio of "One Red Rose for Christmas" starring Helen Hayes and a very young Patty Duke. After other teleplays, my cousin had a lucrative job offer to go to California as a writer when the live TV scene shifted out of New York, but he refused to leave his Brooklyn, New York roots. He never regretted not moving to California, yet did continue submitting teleplays and storylines to shows that would be filmed on the west coast. He lived out his days writing short stories and journal pieces from his beloved Greenpoint, Brooklyn, New York home, never realizing or perhaps, never really acknowledging, his significant contribution to the 1950s Golden Age of Television.
