Speaking of New York broadcast history, I have just read a book on one of 
my heros, Othmar H. Amman. He was the Civil Engineer who designed six New 
York City area bridges beginning with the George Washington and culminating 
in the Verrazano-Narrows.

On page 165 of the book "Six Bridges", 2000, Rastorfer, Darl, Amman is 
photographed at the dedication of the Bayonne Bridge addressing a WOR 
microphone. It would be great to have a recording of that!
