Views: 1490

Here's Part 2 of "New Year's Eve: Chicago Style" - a special on WBBM Channel 2. Unfortunately, the recording starts during a commercial break and we miss the first 10 minutes or so of the broadcast - still, lots of local fun in this one. :-) This part includes:

Mayor Jane Byrne and her husband Jay McMullen arrive at State & Randolph while John Coughlin narrates the "action". Longtime WGN TV and Radio veteran Roy Leonard can be seen as the MC of the event down on the stage.

The Koz Zone - "Fuzzy's Letter" (1989)

Views: 2841

Here's another one of Fuzzy's early brushes (more like a tickle) with fame - when Rich Koz read my letter on The Koz Zone! It included the mildly humorous limerick that I had written, Fred.

I had a pet weasel named Fred
who liked to ride on my sled
but then one day, a rock got in the way
and that was the end of Fred.

I was also proud of the fact that per my suggestion, Rich re-instituted the "Cards & Letters" theme at the end o...

Way to Go (Part 4, 1980)

Here is Part 4 (the final part) of a long-forgotten Field Communications produced program for kids called Way to Go. This episode (which may infact be the first one) is from 1980. Peter Kastner is the host.

I am pretty sure this was produced at the Field station KBHK-TV Channel 44 in San Francisco.

This program aired on WFLD Channel 32 in Chicago on Sunday mornings at 9:30am in July of 1981 (Thanks, smctopia!) and may have ...
