Dr Thos  Goldsmith, DuMont's 
chief engineer back in '46, is alive and active in  Washington State! 
WTTG's call comes from Goldsmith's initials - and has  remainded on the 
station continuously for the past 60 years.  That,  in itself, must be 
a record or nearly one.

Was Dr. Thomas Goldsmith  later a professor in a North Carolina or  South 
Carolina University.
 
At one time Ron Baker  of CCA in Atlanta and I sponsered and  engineering 
dinner at the GAB Convention and a gentlemen spoke regarding the  early day of 
television with Dumont and how they pioneered much of the  television technical 
and programming with the third TV network at the  time.
 
He exuded so much excitment in his speaking of the work they did made the  
history very interesting.  If it is the smae what a great and inspirational  
speaker.
