Another what, I hear you cry? (Of course you do. Don’t interrupt.) Another what?
Another air-check tape from KCOM, is what! This one is even earlier than the first one, dating to March 30th, 1976; I must have been home for spring break. The tape quality is much clearer than the August tape was, but recorded at a lot lower level. Fortunately, that’s easily fixable. (zomg . . . the network news headlines are talking about the jurors deliberating in the Patty Hearst trial!)
It was a quiet day for news locally, since the Who Died News at 10:00 didn’t lead with any death notices and went straight to hospital admissions and discharges. Other local items included a Bicentennial celebration by the local 4-H and FHA, a tent revival, opening of a new wing at the hospital in De Leon, and an interview with the construction superintendent for the new high school in Comanche. (Some day I’ll tell the story about having the old high school condemned around our ears in the middle of my senior year, and the disruptions that caused.)
As with the August tape, I’m going to clean it up a bit, type up a rundown sheet, then rip a copy for the library and give it to Mother when I see her next.
Admission is free if you dress in Bicentennial fnord.
