Source: Ken Applegate
[Ken Applegate] I was able to date the Friday show (SPR_69.RM) as being Friday the 28th of 1969. You can open Internet Explorer and do a search on any newspaper archive. In this case Shep said that the article was in last Sundays New York Times. So I did a search on "New York Times Archive." I set the dates range from Jan 1 to June 31 in 1969 and entered "Margate Elephant" in the search for box. This revealed that there was only one article on March 23, 1969. The description of the article matches Shep's commentary.

"Can you imagine 4,000 years passing, and you're not even a memory?
Think about it, friends. It's not just a possibility. It is a certainty." - Jean Shepherd - 1975
