*Thanks for listening to our exploration of USDA/4H educational 1970s series Mulligan Stew. Do you remember seeing this one?
The show premiered on PBS stations in 1972 and aired in syndication and in classrooms throughout the decade and beyond.
*Here is the 1974 New York Times article I mention.
*RFK Stadium opened in 1961. The Washington Senators played there until 1971 and then moved to Texas and became the Rangers.
*Teisco was a Japanese guitar brand big in the Sixties. It was owned by Kawai at the time of this series.
*4-4-3-2 = 4 bread and cereal, 4 fruits and vegetables, 3 from milk, 2 from meat.
*This series should not be confused with short-lived 1977 NBC series Mulligan's Stew starring Elinor Donahue.
*ABC aired The Monkees 1966-1968.
*I couldn't find any more information about nutrition expert Peggy Walton.

*Leesburg is in Loudon County in Northern Virginia, about 40 miles from Washington D.C.
