John Clark of Newark died Tuesday March 6 at Licking Memorial Hospital. He had been undergoing long term treatment for cancers. John was a 1968 graduate of...
Since I am not around a computer on the weekends, Happy Birthday to WGSF on Sunday! It looks like my nephew will return from his first tour of duty in Iraq in...
Hey Mitch I m glad your nephew is coming out of there and congrats on the wedding from another vet. It was a big relief for me. Anyway, I think we all have...
Greetings Tad. The bad thing is that my nephew is just completing his first tour of duty, and will be going back. He is a tank driver, and his tank has already...
Hi, I've just joined the group. I run the Early Television Museum in Hilliard. We are negotiating with the Ohio Historical Society for a long term loan of the...
Hello Steve. One of my best memories of the remote truck came from the Hartford Fair in Croton, Ohio. With school out for summer vacation, WGSF staff members...
Sounds like the two paint-jobs the truck got at WGSF (once for channel 28 and once for 31 - see photos) were preceeded by several others. Interesting history. ...
Here's the tally so far: Steve has pictures of the truck when new marked for KDYL/W6XIS in the original RCA colors and also with the side repainted for just...
Thanks, Dan: Somewhere along the way, an air conditioner was added on the left rear. What do you make of the lenses on the unit as painted for KDYL-TV? I...
You guys sure make a guy feel old! Talking grandchildren and 60 year old trucks. Why next month I'll "drive" my '48 Crosley to a book signing in its honor....
Lee, Each truck was different in some way and apparently the additions/ adaptations were even more varied. In our truck, the ladder is fixed, parallel to the...
Tom, I don't know. To me the fact that a truck built 5 years before I was born is still out there and could even be made to work again makes me feel a little...
Daniel, The Dash gauge clusters are the same Stewart Warner packages in the Crosley and the Chevrolet mobile unit. The drivetrain has a 3 speed transmission...
And here I thought the Crosley had more than the 90HP the RCA truck made. So how do you get those low 0-60 times in the Crosley? Of course either of them could...
I had a special relationship with one gauge - the speedometer. It quit working on the drive back from Salt Lake City. I had no trouble keeping within the speed...
We were special! The kids today would say that old Boyerton/Chevy/RCA was our own "Short Bus". Nerds before the term was inverted! As I recall I spent that...
Well it's like the man said keep it under 55 and she will go forever. I would guess the most expensive thing would be the tires. Assuming you kids didn't...
And here we thought they used a Maytag engine in those. Sounds like old tractors; they have higher horsepower engines in 'lawn tractors' today, but they won't...
Wow Mitch I m sorry, I took so long, I pray that he is good still. I was there, and I know that is no picnic , in a tank or humvee, I was in a freightliner...
I got a big shock today. I was watching the Travel Channel and there was a show on about Disneyworld. One of the experts they had commenting on different...
Shock and AWE! I have seen the name pop up from time to time of various news article credits, never checked it out, just thought there are several people of ...
Oddly, when I got done checking out the info on Tim O'Brien, I did a quick search trying to find anything about Kevin. Then he's the next person mentioned...
http://www.newarkadvocate.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070529/OBITUARIES/705290308/1023 He is survived by his wife of 63 years, Charlotte (for whom he was...
Well, Tim was a go-getter. Came to Newark to do his student teaching, and stumbled across the TV station. Several teachers were involved at that time, so...
Went to Newark Schools Retired Administrator luncheon Thurs. Jimmy Allen was there. Still lives at the same place, New Concord. Hasn't moved. Looking good. ...
