Not sure, wmbrown6. May have been. My tape was only of that segment, not the whole show, so I have no way of checking. :(

A flag waiving supporter indeed!

One other enquiry: Was it from this same newscast that the ending credits with the film of various shots of NYC accompanied by John Tropea's "Tambourine" as previously put up by two different YouTube'rs, had originated? I reckon it would've, given the length of Grimsby's sideburns plus Mr. Anastos' co-anchoring with him. And who would've been at the announcing booth that evening - Gilbert Hodges, Wally Parker or another?

And I see Ernie Anastos filled in for Bill Beutel that same evening . . .
