By Brian Ochsner baochsner@aol.com Well, what do you know. I just talked to a guy, my uncle’s brother, who went to the World’s Fair held in Chicago back in 1933 and got to see a prototype of a television set – about 20 years before they were mass produced. You learn that kind of thing over the holidays, and this recent Christmas was one of the best ever. Gifts and food were in abundance, and it was good to spend time reconnecting with family and friends. Along with the witness to prehistoric TV, I also discovered a cousin of mine has been on an outdoors program on ESPN. Ryan’s an avid fly fisherman and conservationist (not an environmental wacko). He’s also a skilled talker, and likes to argue his point to anyone who will debate him. The folks at Senator Conrad Burns’ office (R-MT) thought he argued a little too forcefully, and threw him out.
