61. Ike but I don't remember it.

I remember Kennedy and on up.

Hey does anyone remember when the three television networks would communicate with each other through melodic beeps you could hear over the air? Not sure what it was, but I remember hearing that one night and my parents looked at each other and said, "Eisenhower?" because at the time he had had a stroke or something. A few minutes after those beeping sounds, there was usually a bulletin. Am I crazy?
