From Tony Cucurullo

Watching 60 minutes tonight I was reminded where did the original watch, that ticking sweep hand that is synonymous with the show originate from.  That brings me to a group of men that shared the seat along with the director for the completion of a show. The AD (Assistant Director).  CBS had a cadre of wonderful and talented men, and I guess by now there must be women involved. But in my studio lifetime I recall some very good AD's.  Most are very fine people. They invariably came up through the ranks of the business and some were performers and all aspired to be numero uno, the Director of a show.  In the sixties I was working in Studio 43 at Grand Central Station, as part of the teams of Audio/Switcher types.  We were responsible for all of the station breaks, and the early and late news and the' Late Late Show'.  Life was sweet and fulfilling. We had a good EIC (Engineer-in-Charge) Phil Goetz .Master Control was right next-door. With all the great Supervisors that ran that department.
I was teamed with one of the finest men I have ever known in my life.  Leo Kuranoki. He was a refined individual. Poised and gracious to a point.  We developed a strong friendship. Leo introduced me to many fine aspects of life. He helped me remove the rough edges of my social graces.  We worked with an AD by the name of Len Ufland. Len was another fine and cultured person. Along with Gil Miller, and another man that didn't work at CBS, but he certainly belongs in the memories of many of the CBS workers. His name was Jimmy Stoller, and he was the manager of the Pentagon Bar, across the street from the station on Vanderbilt Avenue. He looked like the cartoon character Harry Piels, of Burt and Harry the Beer commercial of that time.  He had a slight Yiddish accent. On Friday nights he would always arrange the back table for ED Murrow who would come in immediately after his show, "Person To Person".  This group I mention because they became lifelong friends. Once a month we
would travel to Philadelphia, or some place where there was a racetrack and a fine restaurant to visit after a day at the races.  LenUfland used a watch that he had made especially for him so that he could time the commercials and the breaks. Others saw it and they asked for a copy of it. Len had some manufactured and had his name put on the face of the watches. It was known in the trade as an Ufland.  Joel Aronowitz, Port Paget, Bro Herod, Frank Flannery, Bob Schwartz, and Yul Brenner, the famous actor. All fine people and all worked at CBS as AD's.  I assure there are many more, but I can't come up with others perhaps your memories will be spiked by these stories and you can share then with the rest of us.
I sure miss those days of quality.

Bill Fitch and I were loaned to Dr. Goldmark's Color Lab for a period of 2 weeks to help out in publicizing the coming of CBS's Color TV.  We were to do a certain number of receiver reports as measured in and around the suburban area of New York using a 30-foot antenna.  George Huether from Tech Operations was assigned to assist.  Our test vehicle was a small panel body truck prominently lettered to advertise CBS TV.  It carried a working lab model CBS TV set and a small power plant for needed power when necessary.

As we finished that phase of the operation we were driving East on Broadway, turned left to 180^th St and were stopped by a red traffic light.  It was about 5:15 PM and the wide intersection was crowded with people going home from work.  A group of three women attracted our attention.  As they neared our truck, one woman especially, never stopped talking.  The others listened.  This talkative woman stuck her head inside the open window of the door and started to ask questions, never waiting for an answer.  This woman rapidly asked a series of questions.  Bill Fitch was driving, I sat in the middle and George Huether sat by the door.   George reached behind him, and pulled out a microphone.  Thrusting this in front of the talkative woman he said "Lady would you like to say a few thousand words for our audience?"

The woman stood perfectly still, her eyes bulged and she became like she was paralyzed.  The light changed and we continued on our way.  As we left I could not help but look to see her in the rear view mirror.  There she stood motionless and speechless.

From Adrian Ettlinger

    During my visit to southeast Florida, my wife and I visited Hugo Ripp and his wife Astra on Feb. 23.  The news is not very good.  Hugo has metastisized lung cancer, and Astra has cancer of the uterus.  I had a long talk with Hugo and my wife had a long talk with Astra.

    I have to marvel at Hugo's attitude.  He's making a very intensive study of methods of treatment, and has become quite an expert, with all the technical terms, etc.  And he remains his joking self about it all.  Some of you may know that Hugo is a great believer in alternative medicine.  If it weren't for the fact that Astra is also in dire straits, Hugo might well travel to one of the offshore treatment centers in the Bahamas or Tiajuana, where non-FDA-approved methods are used.

    The last word, which I received indirectly from a neighbor to whom he telephones every few days, is he's just started chemotherapy.  Hugo hasn't been answering my E-mails, I think because he knows I'm skeptical of his faith in alternative treatment and distrust of the US medical establishment. Hugo swears by a book entitled "The Cancer Industry" by Ralph Moss.  I just purchased a copy, to hear out the alternative arguments.

Best regards to all,  ------------Adrian Ettlinger

From Les Burkhardt

I found an interesting article in the latest edition of PC Magazine: 

Q. How can I delete a message in Outlook Express without opening the Message? 

This is a common request, due to current fears of e-mail viruses and malicious attachments.   Fortunately, it's a simple matter of changing the way you use Outlook Express.  Most people like to keep the preview pane visible so they can quickly flip through messages without specifically opening each one.  You need to give up the preview pane 

Choose layout from the View menu and remove the check next to the Show Preview pane.  Now you can click a message header to delete it without opening the message in the preview pane. 

You can flip through your messages quickly even without the preview pane.  Before going through your messages, review the headers and delete any that you don't want to open.  Now double click the first header to open it.  You can move through the messages in the current folder by pressing Ctrl> and Ctrl<, or you can move to the next unread message with the Ctrl U.   The Keypad up/down arrows work great also.

From Emily Polson (Carl's Wife): CAROTID

Hi!  My greeting to you tonight is PRAISE BE TO GOD!   for Carl came through the operation fine.  But it was a mess, said the dr..  Quite a cloggy mess!  So, I pray the dr. got there in time, and that all will be OK.  Carl is in the ICU at least for tonight.  Some pain, but relieved to have it over.

First thing we did was to call Caroline, who was waiting with her broken ankle by the phone to hear all was clear!  Arteries et al!  She has her left foot drive installed and hopes to join us tomorrow.

AS SHEPHERD, CAROLINE AND I ARE!

Hopefully we can bring him home Thursday.

Shepherd was with me.  We left at 5 this morning in a freezing rain, but got there safely and on time.  12 hours later we got home at 5 this afternoon!  Waiting, waiting, waiting!  But now that is behind us, so Saturday Carl and I can start our 59TH YEAR OF OUR MARRIAGE!

YES, that is St. Patrick's day, but that is not important, for the main thing is, that is our 58th  wedding anniversary!

Thanks to all of you for your prayers, your love and offers to help in any way you could.

We have managed well, but because we knew you were with us in everyway, and God was there to guide us and to heal Carl and take care of us!

What a blessing.

Love in Christ, and love always from Emily, Grandmother Emily, Aunt Emily Morris, and Emily Morris  (all of those are the same grateful person)

Just received the sad news  from Ed that  Doris Reardon our ,"Grand Lady, Of the Retired CBS Association" was taken to her heavenly reward  early today, Monday March 26.

Doris has continually brought joy and happiness to the group for the past  years in editing the Retiree's news letter.

Even during her serious illness she managed to keep the upbeat, bright outlook that was her trademark , when she both worked at CBS and when she scouted around at the luncheons gathering news of the group.

It was always a pleasure  to see  Doris, you knew  than all was well.

Doris was my good friend and we had many good times and  laughs together.

She will be sorely missed by all of us.

Their son, Matt , is with Ed now and his  family will arrive tomorrow.

Our prayers and condolences go to Ed and his  family.

You may pay your respects At  the:

Doris Reardon

She is first, a beautiful Woman.
She is refinement personified.

She is sweet sophistication.

Her writings were never
Subjective

But always insightful.
She could remove the edges of crudeness.

And she turned rudeness into an acceptable blush.

Her banter was light, refreshing,
And to the point.

She acquiesced to ones blandishments, however diverse,
She edited them to be  enjoyable humor.

She shared your titillations, in concert with us
By turning the flavor to acceptable interest.


Memories about her abound plentiful
Her legacy lives through her
Charm and grace

Her smile both warmed and disarmed you.

In the bouquet of CBS women,
She is one of the beautiful flowers.

Born cuddly, grew beautifully, parted lovely

Sadness at our loss is softened
By her image
Imprinted inexorably in our hearts

Suffer no more,
In sweet repose.

Sleep in the metaphysical arms
Of Morpheus your
Deity

From Ann-Louise (DeQuinzio) Bastain

I'm glad to report that my dad was discharged from the hospital today (Sunday 3/25.)  He is as happy to be home as we are to have him.  He is making great progress and is comfortable.  My mother is feeling better but not yet up and about so I have them in bedrooms next to each other and they are like teenagers trying to sneak a visit with each other. She is feeling much better tonight and I'm sure will be out of bed tomorrow.  My dad is being an excellent  patient and is following all the doctors
orders.  I know he will do great.  In a day or two we'll let him back on the computer and you'll hear from him yourself.  For now, he still tires easily so it's best not to phone yet. 

Thanks again for everyone's prayers and good wishes.  They are deeply
appreciated.

From Tony Cucurullo

THIS IS MY YEARLY UPDATE FOR USEFUL TIPS.
HAROLD DEPPE TAKE NOTE: MORE TOILET BOWL CLEANING HELP. BY NOW YOU SHOULD BE
READY TO CLEAN IT AGIN.
TONY C.

 Subject: RE: Usefiul Tips

 USEFUL TIPS

 Flies or bees bothering you? Spray them with hairspray and they will  take a quick dive.

 Sealed envelope - Put in the freezer for a few hours, then slide a knife  under the flap.   The envelope can then be resealed.

 Use Empty toilet paper roll to store appliance cords in.  It keeps them  neat and you can write on the roll what appliance it belongs to.

 For icy door steps in freezing temperatures: get warm water and put Dawn  dishwashing liquid in it.   Pour it all over the steps.  They won't refreeze.

 Crayon marks on walls?  This worked wonderfully!  A damp rag, dipped in  baking soda.  Comes off with little effort (elbow grease that is!).

 Permanent marker on appliances/countertops (like store receipt BLUE!)>  rubbing alcohol on paper towel.

 Whenever I purchase a box of S.O.S Pads, I immediately take a pair of  scissors and cut each pad into halves.   After years of having to throw awayrusted and unused and smelly pads, I
 finally decided that this would be muchmore economical.  And now a box  of S.O.S pads last mine definitely!  In fact, I have noticed that the  scissors get sharpened this way! (Store used ones in freezer per Heloise - no rust)

 Opening brand new jars can be a feat in itself.   Well, I have found a way to make it the easiest thing to do.  Instead of  banging a jar of jam, pickles, etc., with a knife until it loosens up, I
 simply reach into the drawer and pullout the handy nutcracker.  It  adjusts to the size of the jar and I simply give it a good twist and off  pops the lid!

 Blood stains on clothes?  Not to worry!  Just pour a little peroxide on  a cloth and proceed to wipe off every drop of blood.  Works every time!

 Use vertical strokes when washing windows outside and horizontal for  inside windows.  This way you can tell which side has the streaks.   Straight vinegar will get outside windows really clean.  Don't wash  windows on a sunny day.  They will dry too quickly and will probably  streak.

 Spray a bit of perfume on the light bulb in any room to create a lovely  light scent in each room when the light is turned on.

 Place fabric softener sheets in dresser drawers and your clothes will  smell freshly washed for weeks to come.  You can also do this with  towels and linen.

 Candles will last a lot longer if placed in the freezer for at least 3  hours prior to burning.

 To clean artificial flowers, pour some salt into a paper bag and add the  flowers.  Shake vigorously as thesalt will absorb all the dust and dirt  and leave your artificial flowerslooking like new!
 Works like a charm!

 MORE GREAT IDEAS Stuff a miniature marshmallow in the bottom of a sugar  cone to prevent ice cream drips.

 Use a meat baster to & quot; squeeze & quot; your pancake batter onto the hot griddle  and you'll get perfectly shaped pancakes every time.??????????????????

 To keep potatoes from budding, place an apple in the bag with the  potatoes.

 To prevent egg shells from cracking, add a pinch of salt to the water  before hard-boiling.

 Run your hands under cold water before pressing Rice Krispies treats in  the pan and the marshmallow won't stick to your fingers.

 To get the most juice out of fresh lemons, bring them to room  temperature and roll them under your palm against the kitchen counter  before squeezing.

 To easily remove burnt on food from your skillet, simply add a drop or two of dish soap and enough water to cover bottom of pan, and bring to a  boil on stovetop.

 Spray your Tupperware with nonstick cooking spray before pouring in  tomato based sauces and there won't be any stains.

 When a cake recipe calls for flouring the baking pan, use a bit of the  dry cake mix instead and there won't be any white mess on the outside of  the cake.

 If you accidentally over-salt a dish while it's still cooking, drop in a  peeled potato and it will absorb the excess salt for an instant & quot; fix me  up.& quot;??????????

 Wrap celery in aluminum foil when putting in the refrigerator and it  will keep for weeks.

 Brush some beaten egg white over piecrust before baking to yield  a  beautiful glossy finish.

 Place a slice of apple in hardened brown sugar to soften it.

 When boiling corn on the cob, add a pinch of sugar to help bring out the  corn's natural sweetness.

 To determine whether an egg is fresh, immerse it in a pan of cool,  salted water.  If it sinks, it is fresh, but if it rises to the surface,  throw it away.

 Cure for headaches: Take a lime, cut it in half and rub it on your  forehead.  The throbbing will go away.

 Don't throw out all that leftover wine: Freeze into ice cubes for future  use in casseroles and sauces.

 If you have a problem opening jars: Try using latex dishwashing gloves.  They give a non-slip grip that makes opening jars easy.

 Potatoes will take food stains off your fingers.  Just slice and rub raw potato on the stains and rinse with water.

 To get rid of itch from mosquito bites, try applying soap on the area  and you will experience instant relief.

 Ants, ants, ants everywhere ... Well, they are said to never cross a  chalk line.  So get your chalk out and draw a line on the floor or  wherever ants tend to march.  See for yourself.

 Use air-freshener to clean mirrors.  It does a good job and better  still, leaves a lovely smell to the shine.

 When you get a splinter, reach for the scotch tape before resorting to  tweezers or a needle.  Simply put the scotch tape over the splinter,  then pull it off.  Scotch tape removes most splinters painlessly and  easily.

 Now look what you can do with Alka-Seltzer:

 Clean a toilet.  Drop in two Alka-Seltzer tablets, wait twenty minutes,  brush and flush.  The citric acid and effervescent action clean vitreous  China.

 Clean a vase.  To remove a stain from the bottom of a glass vase or  cruet, fill with water and drop in two Alka-Seltzer tablets.

 Polish jewelry.  Drop two Alka-Seltzer tablets into a glass of water and  immerse the jewelry for two minutes.

 Clean a thermos bottle.  Fill the bottle with water, drop in four Alka-Seltzer tablets, and let soak for an hour or longer, if necessary.
 
 Unclog a drain.  Clear the sink drain by dropping three Alka-Seltzer  tablets down the drain followed by a cup of Heinz White Vinegar.  Wait a  few minutes, then run the hot water.

 Do your friends a favor.  Pass this timely (and some not-so-timely)  information on to a friend or two.

From Harold Deppe

Hi Tony.
Thanks for the Info.
In regards to the Bruno Fucci reply of You leaving # 24 off the Test.  Do You think Alka-Seltzer could do for His mouth what it has done for my Toilet Bowls ?
or is He too far gone ?
P.S. if you think it would help I will save Him some of the Water.  Do you  notice We are always ready to help a Friend. I ran out of Alka-Seltzer once and put Speedy in.....not as good as the Tablets.
I also have good Memories of ST. 43 and Telecine
Best Regards.

          DNA….. Cloning….. Scary implications,indeed. Let's suppose Hitler succeeded in creating the master race. Deplorable, you say. He  was playing GOD.
          Some scientist cloned a sheep named 'Dolly.  A Hue and cry is heard from all sorts of groups. Maybe that scientist thought of himself as the Hitler of the animal world?
      My scientific expertise has an intellectual range stretching all the way from Dr. Seuss  and beyond to Linguine and clam sauce.  This spawned the thought that perhaps we  in the Television/Broadcast industry could compose an anthropoid blueprint with super attributes that could work tirelessly and creatively.
          My contribution to this exercise is if  we supply to this bank the generic codes of say,…

(1)          The curmudgeon qualities of Fred Schutz.
(2)          The intelligent quotient of Adrian Ettlinger
(3)          The strength of Joe Sokota
(4)          Harold Classon's, camera eyes.
(5)          A blend of Hagerty, Slattery, to operate the tongue, with a touch of Fowler to set the pace properly.
(6)          The chest of Betty Claudio, for oxygen storage.
(7)          The belly of George Nader, and Sy Elliot, for girth.
(8)          Facial features of Paine, Daley, and Bartilluci.
(9)          Legs of Doris, and Melanie with a little of Jim Martens?  (Left leg, Right leg and length..if you must know)
 (10)       The heart of Chirkinian, (right ventrical) and  Don Hewitt, (left ventrical)  

All This might sound ludicrous to you.
Let's say, I have just become, head of the CBS Personnel Department. These
are MY choices to have a technician cloned.

I send these specifications to the 'Tisch Laboratories for the

Hi Les

Don't know if you remember me.  David White's secretary.  I'm now on line and how do I get a copy of email addresses?  It's too bad about Doris.  She was such a dynamic lady and always with a smile.  Do hope you are well and I'll probably see you at the next luncheon which I'm certain will be sad.  I talk to Don McGraw about once a week and he fills me in on CBS happenings.  He's still going strong and full of vim and vigor.

I should be sending out an updated list in about 1 week.  Your name will be on the list.

From Bob Vernum

Les,  I was just perusing the messages and once again I came across Tony Cucu"s recounts of studio 43.  I was a switcher in 43 from 1957-1961-Tony Strauss was
my team partner.  I am going to relate a true story that occurred on a Wednesday evening--hope you all get a kick out of it!

We had an announcer whose first name was John, sorry his last name escapes me at this time.  As you all remember CBS had standard announce copy for prempting a
program.  The program being prempted was "THE INVISIBLE MAN".  Without pausing John read the copy "the invisible man will not be seen tonight, due to the
following special program"!!  A true story-just one of many.  BOB
