Phillyhere 11 Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 So, turns out my 300 tapes I recorded is nothing compared to the recording this Philadelphia woman recorded...for 35 years! http://www.fastcompany.com/3022022/the-incredible-story-of-marion-stokes-who-single-handedly-taped-35-years-of-tv-news Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nycnews4 12 Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Unbelievable that she began recording the year that I was born. I wish that I would have recorded news from years ago as now I'm scrambling around trying to find old news clips and VHS's which I don't have as most got disregarded years ago. I hope those tapes are archived and kept safe somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickp 294 Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Seeing how she taped TV news from 1977 to 2012, I was hoping she had an obsession of just taping 6ABC's Jim Gardner everyday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
