THIS YOUNG FELLOW WAS LIGHT YEARS AHEAD OF MOST OF CONTEMPORARY SOCIETY. THE IDEA OF BUILDING ONE OF THOSE NEWFANGLED TV SETS WAS BEYOND THE KEN OF ALMOST EVERY CITIZEN EXCEPT FOR AMATEUR RADIO OPERATORS AND OTHER ELECTRONIC EXPERTS. BARS AND RESTARUANTS STARTED PLACING TV SETS IN THEIR ESTABLISHMENTS. SPORTS WAS THE MAJOR FARE ON THE VERY EARLIEST TELEVISION SETS. I REMEMBER WHEN TV WAS DARK ALL NIGHT, SIGNED ON AT ABOUT 2 PM IN THE AFTERNOON AND WENT OFF THE AIR AT AROUND 10 PM.
