Aug 2025

Starting in 1959 (our first TV) my husband and I always watched the CBS Nightly News (with Douglas Edwards) and followed Cronkite until retirement. My husband still watches (NBC) but I gave up on Election night and haven't watched a single broadcast since. After so many years, it really feels strange but I find myself with major anxiety and I know that is something that will ruin my health!
