Arun Rath （Host）： Finally， we have a late Christmas present for you， but it’s a story worth waiting for： A woman whose father spoke to her nearly 70 years after he died in World War II. The story begins about a year ago in a library at “The Baltimore Sun”.
Paul McCardell： One day I was looking for something else， and I noticed this black box. And it was， like， tied in rope.
Rath： Researcher Paul McCardell cleared away decades of old papers to free the box. And there， he found 1）vinyl record albums. The paper’s 2）multimedia editor， Steve Sullivan， wasn’t sure if they’d found gold or just a 3）dud.
Steve Sullivan： But it was beautiful. I mean， it was a 4）pristine copy of this 1943 radio show.
（Soundbite of archived broadcast）
Unidentified man #1： Good afternoon， everyone. We’re about to bring you a full hour special broadcast direct from England. This broadcast is a Christmas present from the “Sun Papers of Baltimore” so that you may hear the voices of your service men and women overseas.
Rath： The show was like an audio time capsule left on a shelf and forgotten decades ago.
（Soundbite of archived broadcast）
Unidentified man #1： And just to show you that we’re in the Christmas mood， let’s have the whole 5）gang kick off with “Jingle Bells.”
（Soundbite of song， “Jingle Bells”）
Rath： McCardell and Sullivan had to get this back on the radio. They contacted “Baltimore Sun” 6）columnist Dan Rodricks who also hosts a show on NPR member station WYPR.
Dan Rodricks： Knowing what it takes to pull off a remote broadcast even today， I’m very impressed at the quality of this.
（Soundbite of song， “Jingle Bells”）
Rodricks： We aired it on December 20 and again on December 24.
（Soundbite of song， “Jingle Bells”）
（Soundbite of archived broadcast）
Unidentified man #1： And now to be under way with our program this afternoon...
Rodricks： This was just a bunch of guys from Baltimore or different places in Maryland， Pennsylvania， Virginia and West Virginia just speaking in their own voices， a little bit 7）scripted， but all accurate and based on interviews with them.
（Soundbite of archived broadcast）
Unidentified man #2： I used to be a 8）brakeman on the B&O.
Unidentified man #1： And if you were back in the States today， where would it be？
Unidentified man #2： I’d be right back there in West Virginia， we’d having turkey for dinner， probably a wild turkey that either Dad or I shot with the old squirrel rifle. Rodricks： I mean， it’s kind of charming. And it’s also a little bit chilling to think about these men are six to seven months away from the 9）invasion of Europe. And many of them in the broadcast had been through several bombing missions over Germany. So these men had been through a lot， and some of them were about to go through a great deal.
Rath： Including one man whose name jumped off the broadcast for a woman named Margaret Ann Harris.
（Soundbite of archived broadcast）
Unidentified man #1： I believe we have another gunner here， 10）Sergeant Cody Wolf of Catonsville， Maryland.
Rath： Cody Wolf was her father， a father she never got to meet， and a voice she had never heard in her adult life. One of Margaret Ann Harris’friends heard the show live on WYPR and told her to go to a website where it was archived. Margaret Ann Wolf
Harris： And it still didn’t register in my mind that I was going to hear my father’s voice until I heard it online for the first time.
（Soundbite of archived broadcast）
Unidentified man #1： What kind of a Christmas have you been having， Sergeant Wolf？ Sgt. Cody Wolf： Not too bad， but I’ve been thinking a lot about Catonsville.
Unidentified man #1： You have a family there？
Wolf： My parents， my wife， my 16-month-old daughter， Margaret Ann.
Harris： It was so wonderful. And it was not a sad thing at all. It was just a wonderful experience to know that I could hear that voice， and that my father said my name. That was the most 11）poignant part.
（Soundbite of archived broadcast）
Unidentified man #1： And now you’re an 12）aerial gunner.
Wolf： I’m a top-turret gunner， one of the new crews like Sergeant Maine here.
Harris： No one expected my father to be on that broadcast at all. He had just arrived in England a few weeks prior. That broadcast was Christmas Day， and he was killed in action January 11.
Rath： How did he sound？ Did you have a concept in your head of what your father sounded like？
Harris： Never. I never had thought of it. And when I heard his voice， it was very typical of his family. It was very of the time： very calm and very 13）reassuring voice， kind of like the Jimmy Stewart/Gary Cooper era. And it was a safe voice， I guess because I’m his daughter. It felt a voice that would protect you.
Rath： Obviously， you’ve lived almost your entire life without your father. He passed away when you weren’t even a year-and-a-half old. What is it like now at this point in your life to have this connection with him？ Harris： To hear him say my name and to know that I was treasured by him is just…it’s just an awakening. It’s something I always knew. But to hear the voice， so wonderful. Now I can hear him say other things. And my grandchildren heard the voice， and my daughters， and they all heard my father speak， which was a terrific Christmas present for our whole family.
阿朗·拉什（主持人）：最后，我们要为大家送上迟到的圣诞礼物，但是这是个值得等待的故事。一位女士的父亲在二战中牺牲，将近70年后她听到了父亲对她说的话。故事还要从一年前的《巴的摩尔太阳报》的图书馆说起。
保罗·麦卡戴尔：一天当我在找别的一些东西时，我发现了这个黑色的盒子。它像是用绳子绑住了。
拉什：研究员保罗·麦卡戴尔清理了数十年的泛黄纸张，让这个盒子重见天日。在盒子里，他发现了一张黑胶录音专辑。报社的多媒体编辑史蒂夫·萨利文都不确定他们是找到了宝贝还是废物。
史蒂夫·萨利文：但是这很漂亮。我的意思是，它是一张1943年广播节目的原版拷贝。
（广播录音片段）
匿名男声1：各位下午好。接下来的一个小时，我们带来的是从英国直接连线的特别广播节目。这是《巴的摩尔太阳报》送上的圣诞礼物，因此你可能会听到海外服役军人的声音。
拉什：这个广播节目就像是被遗忘在橱柜里几十载的音频时间胶囊。
（广播录音片段）
匿名男声1：为了要让大家知道我们正沉浸在浓浓的圣诞氛围中，让我们全体献上一曲《铃儿响叮当》吧。
（歌曲《铃儿响叮当》片段）
拉什：麦卡戴尔和萨利文想要让它重归电台。他们联系了《巴的摩尔太阳报》的专栏作家丹·罗德瑞克斯，他同时还在美国国家广播电台（面向巴的摩尔的）播音站WYPR做主持人。
丹·罗德瑞克斯：甚至在如今得知这盘专辑年代已久，我对它的（录音）质量印象很深刻。（歌曲《铃儿响叮当》片段）
罗德瑞克斯：我们在（2013年）12月20日播出了这盘专辑，12月24日重播了一次。
（歌曲《铃儿响叮当》片段）
（广播录音片段）匿名男声1：今天下午的节目马上就开始了……
罗德瑞克斯：这是一群来自巴的摩尔或是马里兰州、宾夕法尼亚州、弗吉尼亚州和西弗吉尼亚州其他一些地区的家伙，他们说话夹着各自的口音，按预先安排的台词广播，但是对他们的采访，都是符合事实的。
（广播录音片段）
匿名男声2：我曾经是B&O的司闸员。
匿名男声1：如果你今天回到美国，会是什么样的场景呢？
匿名男声2：我会回到西弗吉尼亚，晚餐吃火鸡，也许是我爸或者我用老来复枪打到的野生火鸡。
罗德瑞克斯：我是说，这有点迷人。同时也有点残酷，想到这些人正处在欧洲被占领的六、七个月之后。广播中的这群人，他们之中很多曾多次执行对德国的轰炸任务。所以这些人经历了很多，他们中的一些人将会经历更多。
拉什：这其中包括一个人，他的名字因为一个名叫玛格丽特·安·哈里斯的女士而在广播节目中引起关注。
（广播录音片段）
匿名男声1：我相信我们还有另一
位机枪手，来自马里兰州凯敦斯维尔的科迪·伍尔夫中士。
拉什：科迪·伍尔夫是她的父亲，她永远都无法再见到的父亲，还有在她成年时期从未听过的声音。玛格丽特·安·哈里斯的一个朋友听到了WYPR的直播节目，并告诉她到网上收听节目录音。
玛格丽特·安·伍尔夫·哈里斯：我仍没有在意我将听到父亲的声音，直到我第一次在网上听到这段录音。
（广播录音片段）匿名男声1：圣诞节你是怎么过的，伍尔夫中士？科迪·伍尔夫中士：还不算太赖，但是我很想念凯敦斯维尔。
匿名男声1：你家在那儿吗？
伍尔夫：我的父母、妻子，还有16个月大的女儿，玛格丽特·安。
哈里斯：这太棒了，完全不是件令人伤心的事。知道能听到父亲的声音并且他在叫我的名字，这种经历很奇妙。那是最令人心酸的部分。
（广播录音片段）
匿名男声1：现在你是一名空中机枪手。
伍尔夫：我是一名炮塔顶部机枪手，和梅因中士一样是新入伍的一员。
哈里斯：没人想到我父亲会出现在那次广播节目中。他之前几周才抵赴英国。广播节目是在圣诞节播出的，他在1月11日的一次行动中牺牲了。
拉什：他听起来怎么样？你脑海中是否对父亲的声音有个概念？
哈里斯：从来没有。我从来没有想过这个。当我听到他的声音时，（觉得）是非常典型的家族口音，非常具有时代性：镇定、让人心安的声音，像是吉米·斯特沃特或是盖里·库珀那个年代的。那是令人有安全感的声音，我想因为我是他女儿的缘故，会觉得是种想要保护你的声音。
拉什：很明显，你的整个人生几乎都没有父亲的陪伴。当你还不到一岁半时，他已经永远离你而去。在人生的此刻能再次与他有所关联，这种感觉如何？
哈里斯：听到他叫我的名字，知道我是他的宝贝，这……这让我如梦初醒，尽管这是我一直都知道的事。但是亲耳听到他的声音，这种感觉很奇妙。现在我可以听到他说别的一些事情。我的孙辈也听到他的声音，还有我的女儿们，他们都能听到我父亲的声音，这对我们一家来说是最好的圣诞礼物。
