Watching the forecast, I understand the greatness of Harold Taft.

My grandmother was a weather watcher for Harold in Crowley.

That day was my birthday. I turned 11 that day.

The weather forecast....this is around the time when the worst heat wave on record took place....Summer of 1980 was the worst....I think it hit 113 in July in DFW.

23:34 Just think, the producer of this newscast would someday fill the chair that belonged to Walter Cronkite at the time.

Couldn’t talk about how that was the highlight of the game these days…..

Never knew that Ed Martelle had worked at Channel 5. Spent a lot of time in D/FW radio, though.

[@LarryRobinsonintothefog]

Didn't know that Scott Pelley was a producer for KXAS.

Don't know why I don't remember this. The only personality I remember was Harold Taft. He was a good weatherman. He was at some event and was short, but I think he had been done weather in the military.
