Mr. H: I have been writing down names of teachers who were involved at WGSF back
in the
dark ages of 1966 to 1969.

Teachers: Beth Jones, Helen Brown, Marlin Pitchford, Mary Kay Booher, Bob
Debenidictis,
Jimmy "Wildcat" Allen and possibly Fred Ciminello. No doubt there are more.

During the time frame after the cameras were sent back to Cincinnati, and the
RCA
cameras arrived from Cleveland, John Hall and I developed a slide show called
the Newark
Test. We asked viewers to take the test on a form printed in the Advocate. A
slide of the
Newark area was shown then the correct multiple choice answer. Everything
started out
good, Show the picture, ask the multiple choice question, and then show a slide
of the
correct answer of A, B,C, or D.

We had a back up Kodak carousel projector, and a spare bulb. After about
10-minutes we
were"slidding down the hill". Projector bulb burns out (of course); spare
projector pressed
in to service as the slides were being transferred to the back up projector. The
picture
slides in the transfer didn't get in the exact right order and of course the
letter showing
the answer to the question some how got in the wrong spot. Sometimes the correct
or
wrong answer got ahead of the picture.

If I remember correctly the audio was recorded by John and me ahead of time.
People who
probably didn't really know that Newark had a TV station, were ringing the phone
off the
hook to inform us of jumbled mess. Too bad we didn't have a phone system like
today, in
which we could tell them to start pressing (dialing) numbers for improved
service while
disgusting music played telling them their call was important to us.

On the home page I am holding the "NEW" RCA camera on a Leland Hubbell serving
cart
that was used at the dining room of the Granville Inn. Just Kidding! Gene
Ricketts is seated
and John Hall is at the podium.

As I think of things, I will write them as we walk down memory lane. Things to
be covered:
Licking County Sportlight; Land of Legend shows on the hill; and probably
several more
including my 45-minute detention period I was given after leaving the campus to
help with
something at WGSF. I will reveal who gave me the detention. It is one of the
teachers listed
above. Anyone want to guess?

Keep cool,

Bill Clifford
