Just caught Lee Woodward's bro, Morgan on Retroplex Channel with Sarah Jessica Parker and Helen Hunt in "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" (1985). Both the gals look like they might've been about 17 or 18 years old for that shoot. It was good to see Morgan in a tux.

: Jim, thanks for keeping us informed. I'm sad to hear the news about Ben. I liked Ben.

I worked many years with him in the sixties, when I was at KTUL TV. Many stories are to be told as we had a lot of fun in the 60s in TV. It was a lot of work and a lot of fun then. One particular story involving Ben sticks with me.

This story, one that doesn't make me look too good, is when J. Howard Edmundson was running for governor, the Prairie Fires Campaign. He was being compared with JFK. J. Howard was charismatic. He lit up the election.

Tulsa TV stations, and some radio stations, wanted J. Howard to come to Tulsa (from OKC) to ask him questions, etc. You know how news people were...are... :-) They all wanted to be "THE STATION" that hosted the program.

As I recall, Ben and Bill Swanson, and of course, Jack Morris, were all involved. Seems like Bob Gregory (Bob Pitcock) was there, too. They were successful in getting the promising gubernatorial candidate to come to KTUL TV. A REAL ACCOMPLISHMENT. The other TV stations were to carry it too; as I recall, all on tape delay. Yep... all on tape delay. Our tape was to be sent to the other stations for them to copy or use.

WELLLLLL, I was the video tape engineer at KTUL TV that day when it was recorded in our studio. A BIGGGGG DAY. We rotated days as to who was the VT engineer.

To lay the groundwork here, each late afternoon, we had to record the ABC DEF news stories feed. DEF was "Daily Electronic Feed" of ABC news stories that we used on our local news shows. We typically used up to six stories. It was quite a job to get them, physically cut the tape and splice them in order to be used on the news. Took all evening to get that done by the 10 pm news.

So, we recorded the J. Howard Edmundson program, which had reporters from the other TV stations plus ours, in the late afternoon, really close to the ABC DEF feed. I really had to hurry to take down the tape (we only had one tape machine then) and put up the ABC DEF recording tape. Well, I took off the J. Howard tape and laid it on the tape table next to the ABC DEF tape, cleaned the tape machine per standard procedure, (in a hurry, of course) and instead of picking up the ABC DEF tape, I accidentally picked up the same tape, the J. Howard recording. AND I RECORDED OVER IT. By the time I realized it, it was tooooooooo late. I remember my heart dropping to my stomach. I had mixed feelings. I needed to inform programming, Ben Hevel. And I wanted to not tell anyone until I had a chance to gain my composure. So, as I recall, I told Verdell Sexton, the director. He told Ben. WOW... it hit the fan. Ben said, "what idiot did that?"

I felt soooooooo bad. I probably crawled down the stairs, most likely the circular ones too, on my chagrined body, to apologize and try to gain some credibility back. After Ben calmed down, and he WAS LIVID, he finally talked to me again. It took a while, but he came around. Jack Morris was livid too. And I do NOT blame them at all. Most likely I snuck in the back door to come to work for a few days until all calmed down. In my defense, I was a good video tape engineer. I was young, early 20s, full of it, ya know, and sometimes got too much in a hurry. This sure helped calm me down for a while. I sure did a lot of "double checking". It really taught me a good lesson. Ben understood.

Ben was very fair about things. Sometimes his first reactions were explosive. However, I felt that he always came around. With me, anyway.

I also knew him when he was at Channel 2 as GM. I was involved in the Society of Broadcast Engineers and meetings were in KVOO radio at times, with Johnny Barth, CE. I'd see Ben there a lot and at other broadcast functions around the city. Oh yes, I'd see him at the NAB too. He always had time to stop and talk to me. This was in the 1980s. I left Tulsa again in 1990. My theme song became, "Take me back to Tulsa".

Ben had some controversial situations at Channel 2, as I recall. I can't remember much about them.

Boyce knew Ben best, in my opinion. He probably can remember a lot more than me. As does Betty Boyd, Jack Morris, Don Woods, Bob Gregory and others. I sure miss all those wonderful people. We had a great time in TV.

AND... I'd sure like to have visited Ben one more time. I liked Ben.

Comments: In the Tulsa World death notices this Saturday morning: Ben, age 80, died on Thursday. He was living here in Tulsa.

Ben was the Operations Director when I came to the station in March of 1965. He left in the late 60s, going to a station in Ohio. I think it was a Scripps-Howard station and he became the station manager. Boyce Lancaster can tell us more.

He returned to Tulsa in the 70s to manage Channel Two after it was acquired by Scripps-Howard.

Services for Ben will be Friday June 4 at 12:30PM at Boston Avenue Methodist Church.

Comments
: This is an FM in Peotone, IL with a strong signal in parts of SW Chicago. It has changed hands several times. Formerly a 3 station chain owned by NewsWebRadio, which also failed. To Chicagoans, Peotone is at the edge of the Earth in cornfields.

Edwin Newman has a weekend talk-show on it; presume it's in syndication.

He was telling about working at NBC in Chicago in the 1960s and I just missed a blurb about Jim Ruddle.

He went on to do several Len O'Connor stories. O'Connor was one of the first Chicago TV newsmen. later a commentator till fired by NBC and hired by WGN. Newman was doing dead-on imitations of the late O'Connor.

Have to find out more on the Newman show.

It's a bit dated in subject matter, since so many quacks and charlatans have come along since the book was first published, however, it's still a useful antidote to the nostrums passed onto the public by acclaimed frauds.

Comments: 35 years ago today, Don Lundy and I both were working at KTUL as directors. His eldest son, Matt, was born on this date.

I offered to do "the Chick show" for Don the next morning so that he could be at St. Francis with Rosie and the baby. I had done the 6 and 10pm Total 8 Tulsa casts the night before. I had eaten the night before at the Crystal City Coney Island restaurant.

Little did I know - that I had acquired food poisoning from there. I was okay the next morning going live with John Chick's morning program. Then about 5-10 minutes in, I suddenly had severe pain, so much that I could barely sit at the switcher and direct. As I recall, projectionist Jonathon Jeffreys had to finish the last 5-10 minutes for me.

Cameraman John Heatley drove me to St. John's ER. I spent about 4 hours there and downed some meds. Yep - food poisoning....it's day that the Lundys and I will not forget!

It clearly shows the destruction and devastation. Quite sad to watch after seeing the first one. I was also pleased to find quite a number of 'sequel' journeys filmed in more modern times for comparison. It's a striking difference what traffic laws and rules do to transform chaos. It sure looked like they were enjoying their chaos though.

Comments: Back in about 1960, I used to listen to a show on KRMG on Saturday evening that was hosted by "The Voice", Gordon Berra. It was a jazz show and Mr.Berra often featured Sonny and Susan Gray of THE RUBIOT Jazz and dinner club.

I was just wondering if anyone has any copies of Gordon Berra's voice. I cannot imagine that anyone ever had a better voice for radio. I think I listened to that show as much for his voice as for the lone voice of jazz her in Northeast Oklahoma.
Please, someone tell me that they have a recording of Berra's voice, even if it's just a commercial.

Topic: 1906 film shot in San Francisco
Comments
: Webmaster: This has nothing to do with Tulsa or TV, but is history worth seeing. Be sure to go full-screen (the button with four arrows pointing away from each other).

Mark Twain was still alive. According to Wikipedia, he heard that his friend Ina Coolbrith had lost nearly all she owned in the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, which happened four days after this movie was taken. He volunteered a few autographed portrait photographs to be sold for her benefit.

How many of the people seen in this movie would be gone by the next week?

The music is by Air, a French electronica group.

Lee: "This is one of the most amazing historical films I've seen. There seemed to be no rules per se. I wonder how many were killed or maimed every year?"

-----

'You are there' for a cable car ride in San Francisco.

This film was "lost" for many years. It was the first 35mm film ever. It was taken by camera mounted on the front of a cable car.

The number of automobiles is staggering for 1906. Absolutely amazing! The clock tower at the end of Market Street at the Embarcadero wharf is still there. How many "street cleaning" people were employed to pick up after the horses? Talk about going green!

-----

This film, originally thought to be from 1905 until David Kiehn with the Niles Essanay Silent Film Museum figured out exactly when it was shot. From New York trade papers announcing the film showing to the wet streets from recent heavy rainfall & shadows indicating time of year and the actual weather and conditions on historical record, even when the cars were registered (he even knows who owned them and when the plates were issued!). It was filmed only four days before the Great California Earthquake of April 18th 1906 and shipped by train to NY for processing. Amazing, but true!

Comments: During IFC's daily re-run of "Annie Hall," I happened to catch the scene near the end of the film where Alvy has just flown from NYC to LA to persuade Annie to return to NYC and marry him.

After arriving in LA, Alvy waits for Annie at a Sunset Blvd. sidewalk health food eatery. The waitress approaches his table and give him the menu. Alvy knows, instantly what to order. He says, with a line only Woody Allen could write and deliver, I'm sure, "I'll have the alfalfa sprouts...with a plate of crushed yeast."

Still needing the eggs, I remain Delmeaux de Gillette du Coffeyville.


I had a sandwich (not of crushed yeast) at that same vegetarian restaurant ("The Source", L.A. Weekly link) when I visited L.A. in 1986. There was a large billboard across the street.
