30 seconds of Fame

Well, I got mine! Yup, I was on TV tonight, and not on the 6 o'clock news, thank goodness. PBS aired "Arizona in the 70's", and my thoughts were actually included! All together, I had about a minute of time throughout the one hour program, so I must be famous, right??

Considering that I was still recovering from 2 major surgeries, I didn't look too bad, although my voice sounds awful... cackly sounding, really. Oh well, it was fun and I'm glad I had the chance to be part of the program. A clip of mine was right in front of Alice Cooper, so I was in pretty heady company! I fit right in with Wallace, Ladmo and Gerald....

My only complaint is that they didn't talk about the Prescott 4th of July Rodeo, we talked about that quite a bit, and I was trying to plug the rodeo. They stuck to the typical 70's fare- hippies, rock and roll, Phoenix and Tucson. There wasn't much about the rest of the state, as usual. But they did use the pictures of the ranch, and Dad with a horse, so that's something outside of the norm, I guess. One fun part of the program was about tubing the Salt River. I know a lot of us shared that experience and have great memories of it.
