July 17, 1963
Wednesday, beautiful day. I worked in the garden in am and girls and I went to LaVerne’s after lawn mower. Boys got new antenna and put it up. Wayne worked all day for Carlton.
Comment: TV antennas have now gone the way of the buggy whip...We put up a roof antenna because the rabbit ears could only bring in WRGB (NBC at the time) from Schenectady. (I see that WRGB is now a CBS affiliate, do not know when that happened.) After the roof antenna we could get all three available channels: ABC, NBC and CBS but all of them were in black and white at the time and also "snowy". We now know the "snow" was the background radiation from the Big Bang at the start of the universe....Mom was 50 years old at this time and still very active, mowing the lawn and constant gardening.....
