Hi Jon Green-

There is a book titled "Say Kids, What Time Is It?" which is a serious attempt to unravel the saga of Howdy Doody. 

There  are pictures of the orginal Howdy and other western circus marionettes with puppeteers above, and a shot of a young Velma Dawson along with pix of various cast members, and their behind the scenes tales.

While it is a challenge to understand all the twists and turns of Howdy Doody, with many versions, and some misinformation too, and sketchy memories, this book is a helpful guide.

I have seen it listed on e-bay, and some better libaries should have it.

Alan Cook
