Friends - We just received the following e-mail from Bob Brockway's daughter. "Brocky" was a skilled technician from WLWT's earliest days. We always hoped that he might visit during one of our luncheons. He was so much a part of the early days of TV - great memories.

At the YouTube link which follows, Bob can be seen running an old TK10 studio camera at 24 seconds after the beginning (right after the over-the-shoulder shot of Burt Farber at the piano). Bob turns toward the photographer.

We offer our sincere sympathy to Betsy and to all of Bob's family. We were fortunate to have known him.


Dear Mrs. Underwood:

I have been picking up my father Robert M. Brockway's mail, including the recent notice for the WLW/WLWT luncheon in September

I am sorry to inform you that my father passed away on Aug. 26, 2009.
