[QuadList] NBC, ABC Retirees Assn in NYC or Bur/LA??/TK-44's at NBC-NYC

[dcfwtx at aol.com]

Ted,



There are two functions here. One is a yearly dinner of Burbank TV and other radio employees, many from the Hollywood network days (Red and Blue). ?The other is a very informal luncheon that I sometimes get a chance to go to once a month here in the SF Valley.?




At the last dinner (I think), one member died while attending?unfortunately.?Very sad, but one has to remember that a lot of these men and women are well into their 70's and 80's. Most of these members had the balance of their careers before GE came in an changed a lot of things.?

Hi, Dennis and David?

Is there an NBC retired engineers or retirees  group on either/both coasts like the NYC CBSretirees.com and LA CBSretirees.org??
?

Or a similar association of ABC employees??
