WGGB-TV/NEWS40 (formerly WHYN-TV) is celebrating their 45th anniversary. The above picture is of "The Admiral & Swabby" ... a locally originating program that aired back in the sixties. In fact, I remember being around 4 years old and appearing in the show's audience.

WHYN-TV, like many other television stations around the country, had their own in-house Bozo the Clown, to use as "wrap-arounds" for cartoons. Milt Corey was pretty convincing in his incarnation as Bozo, as illustrated above.

WGGB-TV/NEWS40 is looking for anyone who could provide either pictures from when they were on the shows (probably in a box in your parents' attic) as well as any home made films you or your parents might have made of your appearance on the shows. Also, WGGB-TV would appreciate any pictures from any of the other local origination shows.

If you find any such jewels in your old boxes or photo albums, please give DAN JARVIS a call at WGGB-TV/NEWS40 at (413)733-4040. Your help is needed and greatly appreciated!!
