I was four in the summer of 78 and don't remember the dry-erase boards. Maybe the tv stations in the New York City region already had chroma key.

The sports guy has the best hair of the bunch. That news desk certainly looks crowded compared to the huge studios that today's newscasters wander around in.

When Bruce Schwoegler first came to Boston, around 1968 or 69, he worked as a substitute teacher in the Boston public schools. My 8th or 9th grade class had him as a science teacher while our regular teacher was out on an extended leave.
