The first television I remember having, was a seventeen inch, black and white table model that my parents bought at the Firestone store here in Three Rivers. We got it back in the fifties. Back then, we could get channel three in Kalamazoo and channel eight in Grand Rapids. Cable wasn’t around yet, but we did have a roof-mounted antenna …

Like many, I’m addicted to television. If one of my favorite programs is not on, I’ll channel-surf to find something that might amuse me temporarily. My mother would be displeased, to say the least. I’ve never been much of a reader, and I respect those who always have a book in their hands. For more than 75 years, TV has …
