Scotty you have part (a) correct. Part (b) the correct answer is "the test pattern"

See below, some of you you may recall seeing it on your black and white TV set when the station went off the air.

Yes that's correct Evan, Keith came on the scene in April of 1964. Anyone know the circumstances of that chance meeting?

Scotty and Brian: Isn't that just the trick or treat of life. Knowing what period of 30 seconds spent is going to be worthwhile and what is not. When the present is past, is the past present?
