<font face="Tahoma">Great questions, Ted. I don't have much to add,
technically, but...<br>
<br>
</font><font face="Tahoma">It was a long weekend.<br>
<br>
</font><font face="Tahoma">Friday, I was in the studio at WTTG
(Channel 5 in DC) taking down the news set, when someone upstairs
barked out over the intercom, "Put it back up. Kennedy's been
shot."<br>
<br>
That night, two of us waited with a hot camera out on Wisconsin
Avenue, having heard a rumor his body would be taken to Bethesda
Naval Hospital. <br>
<br>
The next day was my 23rd birthday.<br>
<br>
Sunday, I was working the video console, watching the pool feed,
when Jack Ruby shot Oswald. My immediate reaction was to punch
the intercom down to videotape and ask, "Did you get that?" The
answer was yes.<br>
<br>
By the next day, what had taken a year to plan (television
coverage of his inauguration) had all been reassembled to cover
his funeral. I'll add some of the bits & pieces I recall
about that in a later posting.<br>

<div>It seems hard to believe that the television coverage that
had many of us riveted to the screen happened 50 years ago
tomorrow.</div>

<div>Some folks on the list could have been working in network or
local broadcast settings on that day, and it would be great to
learn more about what they did—and thought—as they were doing
their jobs.</div>

<div>I know that QuadList member Harold Deppe, Sr. was at CBS in
NYC at the time. </div>

<div>Although not in Videotape, Harold Sr. would have had a
unique view of how the network handled the day and those that
followed. (I think this would have been from the Grand
Central Station facilities, since the Broadcast Center on W.
57th St. had a 1964 debut. Clarifications about what happened
from where would be good.)</div>

<div>Perhaps there are others that you know of who are still able
to recall details?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If you've handled JFK materials, it would be interesting to
know what you observed as you played them, such as technical
considerations and logistics of the times.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If any of the materials you've transferred are airing in
productions to be seen over the next few days, or are available
on-line, please include links.</div>

<div>Thanks,</div>
