Today we talked with LIRTVHS member Judy Blitzer. Straight out of high school and Brooklyn she marched her way into a job at RCA at 60 Broad St. in downtown Manhattan. What followed was a thirty-five year career working for John McKenna at RCA. Judy describes for us life at RCA, the intricacies of teletype machines, and how to meet the pope.  Related Links: <ul> <li><a href= "https://www.rfcafe.com/references/radio-craft/rca-radiograms-radio-craft-october-1947.htm"> RCA Radiograms</a></li> <li><a href= "https://www.tmchistory.org/tmc_history/photos/rca_global_comm/rca_global_comm_page.htm"> RCA at 60 Broad St</a></li> <li><a href= "https://engineers-channel.blogspot.com/p/telex-history.html">Telex History</a></li> </ul>
