The Digitaldelitoo has been off the internet for several years, and that is a shame. It's the most detailed and most accurate study of older radio programs. It was the created by Dennis Nyhagen and Dee Nyland. First, meet Dee Nyland:
I am a veteran of the Air Force, between active duty and civil service spent 20 years in military life. Born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, enlisted at 18 in Oklahoma City. Spent tours in Texas, Illinois, Nebraska and Georgia, before going to Japan in 1985, and Alaska in 1992. I discovered the Digital Deli in 2001 while searching for download information on Vincent Price, which led me to it. Contacted the webmaster via -email and took an interest in what I found and the historical value of World War II. Dave, I admire you on your historical interest and willingness to pursue what may be impossible, and wish you much luck in your pursuit of this endeavor. And I hope your own site keeps going for future researchers. God Bless you, Dee
and what about Dennis Nyhagen? Well, that's another story. Dennis has been impossible to contact. E-mail, U.S. mail, telephone, voting records at his last address, his attorney and the internet have all failed to find Dennis. So, in addition to my respect, here's what Dee Nyland, who worked with Dennis, has to say:
(The) only clues I have left are the fact that Dennis was a native of Los Angeles, and had a sister, a daughter Nancy, and a son whose name I do not know. He is a veteran of the Air Force, and near as I can remember, he opened the website in 2001. No pictures, I don’t even know what he looks like or anything else about him as he and I have never met. Near as I can remember, (he) cut ties with (Digitaldelitoo) about 2010, he had pretty much been impossible to work with, he was quite a few years older than I, I think he was having memory issues, but I have no clue. Again, since we have never met or even spoke on the phone all those years, your guess is as good as mine. If anyone knows where Dennis is, please let us know. Since Dennis isn't here to speak for himself, let me quote how he felt about Digitaldelitoo: “What you see here, is what you get. Complete transparency. We have no 'credentials' whatsoever--in any way, shape, or form--in the 'OTR community'--none. Nevertheless, here is how we did it--for better or worse. Here is how you can build on it yourselves--hopefully for the better. Here's the breadcrumbs--just follow the trail a bit further if you wish. No hobbled encodes. No misdirection. No posturing about our 'credentials.' No misrepresentations. No strings attached. We point you in the right direction and you are free to expand on it, extend it, use it however it best advances your efforts. We ask one thing and one thing only--if you employ what we publish, attribute it, before we cite you on it.” “*All rights reserved by their respective sources.

OK Dennis, we acknowledge the Digitaldelitoo website as being of the creation of Dennis Nyhagen and of Dee Nyland. |
