Historic Meet Up in Woodland, California

A meet up of historical importance has been arranged for Terri McCormick
of Appleton, Wisconsin and TimWilliam (T=Mak) McCormick of Salem, Oregon.
The two cousins plan to face off in an explosive (TnT) exchange of long lost splinters of family history and pull together something ressembling sense.

Also on the agenda of "the family that always talks about politics and religion at the dinner table", will be the issue of Terri, a Wisconsin Republican candidate for congress accepting the support of TimWilliam, a LIBERAL Democrat from Oregon. The results of this casual meeting of old souls should be interesting, if only to the party's involved.

Clover Park Broadcast Center: Studio A

[July 1975] Down-time for the Clover Park Broadcast Crew took an upbeat turn
when former studio manager Tim McCormick AKA T-Mac rallied the crew into
news studio "A" for farewell pictures. PBS affiliate KPEC-TV had just purchased independent channel 13 in the Seattle-Tacoma Market and rebranded as KCPQTV.

Two years later the station was sold to independent Kelly Broadcasting and became
a Tribune Company property in an ensuing buyout.

Mr. McCormick, who was operating T-Mac Productions at the time, is seen
standing at far left (appropriately) of the lineup.

John Michael Allen, is standing far right (not so appropriately) in the back row (appropriately). Mike Allen later served as the communications director for the congressional TV feeds linked directly to C-Span, or Spam as he used to call it .

Ramone Gambrel, sitting directly in front of Mike Allen. Was called "Julleo" by the TV director known as "Wild Bill" Kimber. Sadly, Ramone died in a automobile accident a couple of years after the picture was taken. Ramone was very well liked. T-Mac took Ramone and Patti (Anonymous) seated directly left of Ramone, to a Seattle venue featuring 'Blue Oyster Cult' and the ever notorious "COW BELL" featured in the song 'Grim Reaper' and highlighted on a 'Saturday Night Live' sketch.

Several members of the Clover Park studio crew were assigned to video tape gavel-to-gavel coverage of the Washington state legislative sessions. The Public Broadcast (S) programs of legislative activity was a precursor to the form of programming provided by C-Span today. Yes, equally as boring. Fun to shoot.

The rest of the riff-raff got better jobs elsewhere, although some of them lingered way too long with the Clover Park studio complex.

T-Mac Productions gradually faded into a company known as McCormick Fields under the McCormick Tribune Media of Oregon holding company umbrella.
