Hugh Downs with Gerry Fry and Captain Charles Crawford 

SCN lobby in August of 1965

 Hugh was on his way to Tahiti from Florida and stopped at the Balboa Yacht Club. Crawford and I picked him up there and persuaded him to come to SCN and cut several promos for us (he was a host of NBC Radio’s “Monitor” then) and he did a TV interview with us. All in all, he spent a couple of hours with us. When I took him back, he left his tripod in my trunk, so Marty took it back to him the next day and got a tour of his rented ketch that took him to Tahiti.
