From the display, to the abundance of vintage cameras and tape equipment, to the Dumont Cruiser restoration, to Chuck&#8217;s attitude, The Texas Museum of Broadcasting and Communications in Kilgore, is true gift to us all. <\/p>\n<p>This is a new story from the Dallas\/Ft. Worth station that many of us still refer to as WBAP, and it is the best report I have seen so far on Chuck&#8217;s labor of love. I would like to have a brick and mortar museum like this, and if I did, I would do it the way he&#8217;s done it. I chose the virtual museum route.<\/p>\n<p>Later in the story, Chuck says something I can relate to 100%. When it comes to becoming a custodian of rarities, restoring and preserving our broadcast history&#8230;he says &#8220;somebody&#8217;s got to do it&#8221;. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think a lot of things in life are like that, when you come across things and know somebody&#8217;s got to do this, and you are the person who can&#8230;go do it&#8221;.    <\/p>\n<p>That is why I created Eyes Of A Generation in 2006.
