CBS journalist Richard Threlkeld recalls his Cedar Rapids roots born in 1937 and returning after graduate studies. He says reporters are by nature eager to uncover and share information first.
Megann Larsen and Susie Freshour, both 21, learned they are fraternal twins who grew up apart. Susie, who had a corrected heart murmur, learned the truth from their foster mother in 1975. Megann works in a hospital and Susie trains as a dental technician.
Jon Peters recalls CBS News fellowships opening doors to Dan Rather and Marvin Kalb. The veteran joins Threlkeld in discussing entertainment as news, the evolving role of women and minorities in networks, and the shift from tight daily deadlines to expanded air time and deeper reporting.
Threlkeld discusses hosting Sunday Morning as largely autonomous, aiming to entertain inform and uplift while acknowledging it is not a newspaper substitute. He notes occasional street recognition and humorous inquiries about his father, then references Hank Aaron breaking Ruths home run record on this date in 1974.
