Curatorial Note:

Watching the local evening news in the late 1980s, my family always had our television turned to the award-winning "Spirit of Texas" news team on ABC affiliate WFAA-TV/Channel 8, which D Magazine in 1989 called "a local television news operation that is, by any measure, among the two or three best in America." The evening line-up that I best remember consisted of news anchors Tracy Rowlett and John Criswell with meteorologist Troy Dungan and sportscaster Dale Hansen. It was a great honor for me to sit down with three of these four gentlemen for one-on-one interviews in 2017. In addition, Tracy Rowlett returned to the Museum later that same year for a Living History educational program, which may be viewed in full here on YouTube: Living History with Tracy Rowlett - YouTube. - Stephen Fagin, Curator
