If she is still with us, the young woman wearing headphones in these photos is about 101 years old. This item appeared 100 years ago today, June 26, 1922, in the Bridgeport (CT) Times and Evening Farmer.

The young listener is the daughter of Charles C. Kolster, then the radio instructor for the First Naval District. He went on to become Supervisor of Radio for the Boston office of the Federal Radio Commission, and later Inspector in Charge of the First District of the Federal Communications Commission.

In this photo, the young Miss Kolster had the headphones placed on her head to her initial puzzlement. But this was quickly replaced by delight when she realized that she was hearing her father’s voice.
