Motor City Radio Flashbacks is in search of anything audio relating Eddie Chase, renown Detroit radio legend in the 1940s and 1950s on WXYZ and CKLW.
His granddaughter, Kathleen Thompson (resides in Anchorage, Alaska), and for the benefit of her immediate family as well, has reached out to this site for any audio recordings of Eddie Chase on the radio, which may include his top-rated WXYZ show program, Make Believe Ballroom. Material we have yet to find and add into our Detroit radio archive.
If there is someone out there who may possibly have a recording of this Detroit radio treasure, please contact me at (copy and paste):

Jim thank you so much for your wonderful efforts! I’m hopeful and I know recordings exist. As I shared with you I think Lee Alan (do I have that name correct) may well have a sound bite or something more. I was told his private records had been donated to a University 🙁
Interesting note… I had seen the “where is Eddie now” piece before. I don’t know who wrote it but Mabel Chase was my grandfathers second wife. My father, Edgar E Chase is his only child, born to Virginia Fleming Tarbell Chase who died at the age of 26 in Los Angeles. She was the first wife of William “Eddie” Chase.
