I started thinking about Adam (aka “Batman”) West’s passing Friday, and it brought back so many memories of the early (black & white!) days of television. Adam was a perfect Batman, square-jawed and brave – nothing fazed him. For new followers, here are a few other things I wrote over a year ago about this TV era.

Book Progress Report #15
Things are moving really fast now, people! My book is being formatted as an eBook by Shane Simmons, best son-in-law and writer ever! I’ll have the ISBN shortly. And oh! The cover! Take a look!
Windows on the Past
Much as I look forward to what my post-retirement life will soon look like, I also enjoy peeking back at what was. I beg my readers’ forbearance during my occasional musings on old photos.
Seniors’ Stuff – I speak my mind… for about 30 seconds.
My little bits are at the beginning and the end:
From one… to hundreds
Here in Montreal, in 1952, we got all of one (1!) TV channel. If memory serves, it was channel 2 on the dial, and it was bilingual, English and French. (In those days there was more linguistic cooperation in this province!) The channel was run by the CBC: the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. Shows were, of course, in black and white.
P.S. – Re my book
Hi again! I forgot to mention, when I told you I started writing a book, what it’s called and what it’s about! The title is:
Our Driver Has No Car: Tales From the Trenches of Hollywood North
It is about the decade I spent (during the 90s) working as a script coordinator on films and TV shows.
Should be a fun read (if I do say so myself)!
Stay tuned!
