Description: Here's a special FuzzyMemories You Are There (and write the video description) segment. ;-)

Carol LeBeau and Dan tease the following stories:
A federal judge called an end to the railroad strike.
The body of Pope John Paul the first lies in state in Rome.
In Sports, the Red Sox stay alive in the pennant race.
In Weather, John says a pretty good weekend is coming up.

We see a wide shot of the news set with the weather map, and a top mounted TelePrompTer.

Commercial: Prairie Farms Old Fashioned Ice Cream with music from The Entertainer.

Commercial: Karl Malden says join him and Michael Douglas on The Streets of San Francisco on WMDB. The on screen graphic reads Sunday Thru Thursday at 10:30 On 31 Alive.

News Alive show open
Voiceover announcer mentions Carol LeBeau, meteorologist "John Day," sports with "Greg Lucas" and anchorman Dan Breinholt.

Dan Breinholt introduces the package about the death of Pope John Paul I just 34 days after his installation, as a lower third graphic displays "Dan Breinholt, 31 News Alive."

Jerry Bowen from CBS News reports from Vatican City.

In Peoria, Bishop O'Rourke talked to "Lindsey Gedge" just before the tape cuts out. O'Rourke compares the 15 year term of Pope Paul VI to the 34 days of Pope John Paul I.

This aired on local Peoria TV on Friday, September 29th 1978.
