| Title: | The Old Admiral TV, Continued |
| Author: | Joy Truman |
| We didn't understand why Dad had to watch "Decisions 1958" ('59, '60, '61...) as a new year began, but nearly every other evening of the year the television was ours to watch in the living room. And if Mum and Dad gave a party, he'd carry it upstairs so we could watch it there. The television was very heavy, so "carry it" meant his lumbering--slowly, side to side, one tread at a time, his back straight, knees bent. What if he dropped it? What if he fell? We knew he was taking a risk for us! | |
