  • Oral History Interview with Sharon Huntley Kahn, July 10, 2018
    Archives and Special Collections Mansfield Library, University of Montana Missoula MT 59812-9936 Email: [email protected] Telephone: (406) 243-2053 This transcript represents the nearly verbatim record of an unrehearsed interview. Please bear in mind that you are reading the spoken word rather than the written word. Oral History Number: 463-001 Interviewee: Sharon Huntley Kahn Interviewer: Donna McCrea Date of Interview: July 10, 2018 Donna McCrea: This is Donna McCrea, Head of Archives and Special Collections at the University of Montana. Today is July 10th of 2018. Today I'm interviewing Sharon Huntley Kahn about her father Chet Huntley. I'll note that the focus of the interview will really be on things that you know about Chet Huntley that other people would maybe not have known: things that have not been made public already or don't appear in many of the biographical materials and articles about him. Also, I'm hoping that you'll share some stories that you have about him and his life. So I'm going to begin by saying I know that you grew up in Los Angeles. Can you maybe start there and talk about your memories about your father and your time in L.A.? Sharon Kahn: Yes, Donna. Before we begin, I just want to say how nice it is to work with you. From the beginning our first phone conversations, I think at least a year and a half ago, you've always been so welcoming and interested, and it's wonderful to be here and I'm really happy to share inside stories with you.

Iwas about 12 years old when, one Saturday in the living room in my California home, Iwas twisting the dial on my parents' big Grunow All- Wave Radio, looking for my favorite rock-radio station. What Iheard was, well, life-changing. Some strange, off-the-wall sound coming from that giant radio compelled me to stay tuned to aprogram I'd never encountered before—a show that sounded Very Big Time. For one thing, aguy Iknew as "Mr. Magoo" was hosting it—Jim Backus. What in the world was be doing on the radio? He was hosting Monitor, of course.

GOODWIN has been approved for the Department of History and the College of Arts and Sciences by Chester Pach Professor of History Robert Frank Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 Abstract GOODWIN, GERALD F., Ph.D., August 2014, History Race in the Crucible of War: African American Soldiers and Race Relations in the “Nam” Director of Dissertation: Chester Pach For African Americans soldiers serving in the armed forces during the Vietnam War the domestic scene loomed large. African Americans perceived racial issues—race relations, prejudice, and discrimination—in Vietnam through a lens heavily influenced by their earlier experiences in the United States. Issues related to race and race relations helped to define the African American experience in the United States, and these same issues defined the experiences of black soldiers in Vietnam. Race relations in combat were typified by cooperation, shared sacrifice, and a sense of brotherhood. These positive relations were largely a reflection of the fact that black and white soldiers in combat were heavily dependent on one another. Despite these positive interactions with whites, African Americans did not view the armed forces as an institution free of racial prejudice.

    Page 1 Winter 2012 Peacock What’s Now! TODAY at 60—A Memoir By Dan Grabel “Today Girl” (Writer-Producer) RCA Exhibition Hall, January 14, 1952—Day One Beryl Pfizer on the air Photo by Peter Stackpole, Life Magazine with Dave Garroway - ca. 1960-61 I can boast that I’m a television pioneer. Didn’t contribute impressive ideas, or win the coveted awards, but I was in the trenches, starting in 1948 at WPIX. When the Daily News got its FCC license none of the estab- lished “ink-stained wretches” (the hot shot by-line reporters and re-write men) working for the paper with the coun- try’s largest circulation would take offered jobs in the start-up industry. I was a tyro radio newswriter at the paper and automatically became an associate producer for Sports and News at the TV station. Looking for upward movement in 1955, I contacted the Today show’s Executive Producer Jerry Green and shortly after joined the show. In that day, guys like Green were accessible. Without a connection you could phone and seek a job! “Today” was the brainchild of NBC boss Sylvester “Pat” Weaver, who later followed up the creativity with “Tonight” with Steve Allen, “Home” with Arlene Francis and Hugh Downs, and “Monitor – The NBC Radio Weekend Service.” In 1948 and for a few years after, as I recall, daily TV programming did not commence ‘til mid-afternoon, so a wild idea like inviting an audience to tune in at seven in the morning as they were brushing their teeth and put- ting the coffee pot on (we had NO automatic self-starting coffee pots in the 1950s!) was outrageous! But they tuned in! Weaver selected Dave Garroway, a laconic Chicago broadcaster, to head the show.
