WHEN TV WAS AN EDUCATIONAL TOOL
The historical/education program You Are There originally started
as a CBS radio program and made a transition to television in 1953,
with Walter Cronkite as the regular host.
Reporters included veteran radio announcers Dick Joy and Harlow Wilcox. The first telecast took place on February 1, 1953, featuring
a re-enactment of the Hindenburg disaster. The final telecast took
place on October 13, 1957.
Originally telecast live, most of the later episodes were produced
on film.

SHAME ON YOU!
PORTLAND, Ore. — After striking teachers entered the Oregon Convention Center and disrupted a Metro meeting with a school
board member in attendance and picketed outside the homes
of two Portland Public Schools officials this week, the district’s
attorney sent a letter to the Portland Association of Teachers
asking it to stop, or there could be legal action.
A few dozen people gathered outside the home of PPS Chief of
Staff Jonathan Garcia’s home and “threateningly taunted him
by asking him if their presence made him feel uncomfortable,"
according to the district and a letter written by attorney Dennis
Westlind on behalf of PPS and sent to PAT leaders Wednesday.
