AL BELL - - - A dynamic Des Moines Register article March 21, 2010, entertained and informed multitudes on whatever happened to Al Bell! I had the fortunate privilege to be attending a typical Iowa small consolidated school of the early 1950s.
Al Bell, Menlo, Iowa, an Iowa legend who presented near 12,000 shows from 1949 to 1979, provided a whacky informative entertaining assembly program on his world travels, with costumes, music, movies and jokes. He brought the world to rural kids with his near 400 shows per school year. "He played the crowd like a vaudeville veteran," said Jim Calkins. Over the thirty years, the Bells visited 65 countries to continue fresh educational entertaining programs.
Bell, wife, and four children, lived in Des Moines, Iowa when he took over Ronald Reagan's radio job at WHO. He left and joined a radio station in Ames in 1948, and departed the next year. Bell had health problems, polio left-arm damaged. He also had a hole in his heart, which required medical surgery. Bell said, "I'll see the world." Bell took a risk, bought a $500 camera and traveled to remote locations to make films with the idea of presenting them to Iowa schools, largely to rural area schools.
