precious tape room real estate! I remember working a remote in Dallas  
in WBAP's truck and it had two TR-70's in the back of the  
Gerstenslager. Made for a tight fit. Then ad the HS-100 and the inn  
was full.

them inside and out. I don't recall the NY tape/disc maintenance guru  
in field although I can see his face (Louie?).

		I wonder:

	Could you be speaking of Cen Louie (pronounced "Senn Loo-ee")?  He  
was Korean, I think.  I vaguely recall his working in our VTR shop on  
the 5th Floor.

is glad decades later that we snuck in a camera when we could.

		I offer:

	Though I shot the photos at the Danny Thomas Memphis Golf Classic in  
1975, I was not working the event.  Two of my friends from the TV  
station we worked at actually worked the event (They are in a couple  
of the photos).  I was on vacation in Memphis and tagged along to  
shoot the pictures.  As you know, in those days, security wasn't  
anything like it is today.  I walked onto the golf course easily and  
without challenge over several days of the event.  I had no  
credentials; I don't think anybody had them.
	When I finally was employed by NBC in NY, I took lots of photos (I'm  
sure you've seen many of them on Flickr).  Occasionally, my  
photography was not welcome.  But mostly, no one ever told me not to  
shoot photos.  Most of the time, I'd ask if it was OK and except for  
some rare instances, the subjects did not object.  I never heard from  
management to not shoot pictures at 30 Rock at the time.  I suppose  
that's because I never published the photos until many years later.   
In addition, I usually did not shoot photos of NBC talent working.  My  
interest was the facility, not the talent.
	I had always thought that the photos would be of interest in the  
future; to see how the studios and facilities have changed.  It turns  
out that I've even heard from executives at NBC who have appreciated  
my behind-the-scenes photography.  Eventually, I hope that the photos  
will find their way back into NBC's hands once I'm long gone.
