"I am a baby boomer. As such, I was the first generation of Americans who grew up with television. There is a photo of me, at age 3, beaming a bright smile (was I standing next to a sibling?), no, I was standing next to the family television set. I can clearly remember watching the Kennedy-Nixon debates as well as I can recall Penny Hughes Baker, waking up in her hospital bed, with amnesia, after the car crash that claimed the life of her husband Jeff.
I recall coming home from school, and my mother tearfully telling me that Walter Cronkite had broken into ATWT to announce the tragic assassination of President Kennedy. More than a decade later, I recall watching 'The Edge of Night,' when it was interrupted to report on one of the two attempts on the life of President Gerald R. Ford."
