One thought on “Edward Brown WNEW/NBC”

  1. Hey Mr. Brown,
    Thanks so much for getting in touch with me.
    The documentary was called “A Child Again” and was created by WNEW Radio News and Public Affairs Department with Steve Young as the Exec Producer and Alan R Walden as Producer (November, 1967)
    I have forwarded your initial response to the professor for whom I’m conducting this research. I believe she has written to you at the above email address separately with more specific questions regarding WNEW and this documentary show.
    We’d be grateful for any help you can provide or contacts.
    Thanks in advance.
    Have a Happy Thanksgiving.
    Peace,
    Desiree
