Description
KRON-TV news footage from June 13, 1977 with reporter John Fulmer featuring an interview with Castro Valley artist Kathleen Ford and views of a lacquer painting on a 6ft galvanized steel sheet, depicting her vision for a TV game show MC, titled 'Time Capsule'. This rendering looks similar to the Star Wars droid C-3PO but was created long before that movie's release and is "just a coincidence." Opening graphic designed by Carrie Hawks.
