"Conundrum", the final episode of Dallas.

Not a show we watched at our house.

The plan is to work a half day, but I work through lunch and don't leave the library until 3.  I prepare the board report and update my tally of the invoices.  I fear that the book budget is being spent too quickly.  I also feel a need to tidy up my office.  The obsession with 1969 music leads me to where I'll find three tapes that will help me along with my recording project.  I grab a quick meal at Burger King before driving to Kids Play to pick up Andy.  JoAnna has a late meeting with Bill.

From Zenith Electronics Corporation company history. Color television improvements continued steadily. In 1969 Zenith introduced the patented Chromacolor picture tube, which set the standard for brightness in the color TV industry for many years. In 1970, the company received awards from the American Association for the Advancement of Science in recognition of its years of technological achievements. By 1972, the year it introduced a line of 25-inch televisions, Zenith was number one in production of color television sets.
