Sophia Germanich...


Curator's note: Sophia Germanich passed away on 29 November, 2007 at the age of 96. Is any other WLS staffer of the 1932 era still alive?

Sophia Germanich Sophia is one of our Prairie Farmer girls. She works every day in the circulation department, but occasionally she leaves her typewriter to come up to the studio and sing. You hear her most often on the Dinnerbell Program, and your letters have told us how well you like her.

Sophia has an unusually mellow soprano voice. She sings mostly the old classics, and a classic, you know, is a song you keep on liking after you've heard it for years.
