WOR deserves some credit for this, too - both at 1440 Broadway and at 
the new Wall Street digs, the walls were/are lined with photos from the 
station's early history, including Jack Poppele at work and a very early 
flat-top antenna in New Jersey. I'm glad the pictures made the trip 
downtown when the station moved. (Otherwise, I'd probably have been all 
over Tom and Kerry to make sure they made the trip upstate to my attic 
instead!)
