Great find. Mr. Seymour died two months later, his health having failed from the fall he reported on the show. Samuel J. Seymour - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

That's such an amazing piece of history there.
Just a bit more amazing than how they used to give out cartons of smokes as parting gifts.

Hmmmm.....that is interesting.
That is funny about the parting gifts of "smokes".
Good find and brought back a lot of memories of "I've got a secret". What a coincidence I'm reading "Killing Lincoln" and the chapters I read last night, just then described the actual shooting.
Turn the election's in 2014 to a "2A Revolution". It will serve as a 1994 refresher not to "infringe" on our Second Amendment. We know who they are now.........SEND 'EM HOME.

John Cameron Swayze - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia "Swayze was chosen in 1949 to host NBC's first television newscast, the fifteen-minute Camel News Caravan."
We got most of our Korean War news from film reels shown on Swayze's show. I was just a little too young to understand the gravity of it all.
"Camel" was a brand of cigarettes. Still is I guess. Camel (cigarette) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

That was back when you climbed stairs to get into the plane and it had props.
