My sister, Stephanie, is in the blue.My cousin, Anna Gall, is on the right.
Here's a picture of our little Sony Trinitron TV sitting on our kitchen table at my sister's 10th birthday party in December 1976. This ended up being my TV during middle and high school. I still have that TV. I store it in the attic, but I still get it out and use it occasionally. While analog TV broadcasts will end soon, I think I will keep the old Sony. I picked up a digital converter box and hooked it up to the old set. It worked just fine, so my (at least) 33 year old TV is about to outlive the broadcasts it was built to receive.
I took this picture of the old Sony Trinitron today.Is that the same antenna that was on it in 1976?

Hi Steven,
Yes, it sure looks like the same antenna to me. I don't think you
can even buy circlar ones like that
anymore.
P.S.
Thanks for the memory lane you're taking me on.
Love,
Mom
I love reading your blog...your memory and pictures, newspaper articles, etc amaze me!!
Thanks Tara, That's the nicest blog compliment I've had. Thanks for the encouragement. I have fun writing the blog, but it's really nice to hear that someone is enjoying it.
I totally look like Jan Brady in that picture.
I can't believe you still have that TV - and it still works. They don't make 'em like they used to. You got a converter box for it? Too funny.
