Oxydol's Own Ma Perkins

Some of my important early influences were the strong women who populated daytime radio. One example was Ma Perkins (portrayed by Virginia Payne). Like my grandmother, she was widowed and raised three children on her own.

Ma owned and operated a lumberyard in the small Southern town of Rushville Center where for 27 years she offered her homespun philosophy to troubled souls in need of advice.
