You contacted me not too long ago and asked me about something that ran on the air. Could you tell? Tell me about that. Yeah, it was pertaining to a film clip of Jerry Turner. It runs every year around the time the anniversary that Jerry Turner died. And there was a clip of him and John Hopkins, Hospital oncologist with my granddaughter. And ironic thing about it is that my granddaughter was in Hopkins for leukemia and she passed in August of 87 and come to find out that Jerry himself had cancer. And he passed in December of 87 New Year's Eve. And we just happened to be watching TV at that time and saw a clip of him and her. He was like over a beer. And I remember that day she called me at work to tell me that Jerry Turner had been there and that she was going to be on the news. But cause we looked, we didn't see anything and never saw anything until after she was gone. And sure enough, it was Jerry Town and how Jerry had been doing a story at the hospital.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/136841/file/253853#t=4.61,121.38"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/136841/file/253853/transcript/71693/annotation/2","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Is that how it worked? He had been coming that day to visit kids that were in the oncology department, and these are kids that had some form of cancer. And he came different Celebrities would come. But this was a particular day. And the day that he came to see her, she was confined to the bed because she was just going through her chemo. So she was. And she was isolated, too. Wasn't allowed to come out of her room. And he came into the room and there he was kneeling down by the bed. And the picture is just I mean, he's like this close to her and she's talking. So we knew that she had been really feeling bad because she's like a real person all the time. My back, her nickname, my nickname is Sunshine, because she was always so cheerful. I mean, all the time. Jerry made a special visit to see her in her room. Yes, it did. Did she enjoy that? She sure did. She called me on my job to tell me that Jerry Turner had been there. I didn't think it was dirty. And I said, Are you sure it was Jerry Jones? She says, Yes, it was Jerry Tyler. Jerry turned on TV and we thought it was going to come on that night. So naturally, when our mom got there, we asked the nurses. They said, Yeah, Jerry Tyler went into our room. As a matter of fact, she had finger paintings on the door that she had made, and that's what he had stopped to look at. And they told him that the little girl was inside, that I did the finger paint. So she passed on that year, 1987, right in August of 87.

So I kept saying I was going to try to get that. But when I saw it this year, I said, I am going to call that station and see how I can get it. I'll pay whatever it has to be paid. Because I thought perhaps he had a longer series of when he was in the room. But it was just the idea of just having that tape of her at that particular time. And I got a call back from Norm Vogel. This is all right. And he said he was going to look for the clip. And at that particular time, he says, Well, I'll put you in touch with someone that could probably help you. Even though they told me, get in touch with you. And sure enough, we talked a couple of times. You called me really hard catching up with me, but me being working out of town and sure enough, brought some pictures which were actually pictures of Buddy Dean. But let's face it, that's the next thing in our conversation with you all are just fucking great. Darren Great. Okay. Do you have to get that from mom again? Yeah. All right. Okay. We're going to get on with the interview. Okay. I learned something about you. So I got you. You have enjoy Channel 13. I mean, you remember Jerry, don't you? Yes. Yes, I remember Jerry from.

And you say you have watched Channel 13 over the years. I remember Lorenzo, who was the the bomb you were calling it? The Tramp. The tramp that did the day to day DiLorenzo start. That was something that we all look forward to. It's a matter of fact that was kind of like a babysitter. Really? Truly. It was Miss Nancy. There was just certain things on TV that you watched. And Channel 13 just happened to be a station to hit things that really everybody cared to. So there was mismatches younger than there was. We dealt with Lorenzo and his stuff, and then there was Buddy Dean, which everybody raced home from school to watch Buddy Dean and all. I thing about it is that at that time, black kids were on Buddy Dean, like every week. We weren't like once a month. And you had to, right? And you might have been waiting for maybe a month or two to get those tickets. But once you got those tickets, it was just like somebody gave you a winning lottery ticket today because it was a it was an honor to us to be on Buddy Dean. And you got on that on Buddy Dean? Yes. Got on Buddy Dean. My mother took me and about seven of my friends and we danced. As a matter of fact, we went to the wrong place at first. So excited. She was to my mother. All of us were excited and we danced. As a matter of fact, my grandma told me she remembered she knew me because you remember, she saw two feet. She knew those were my feet. But we just had I mean, it was just such a thrill. We were really surprised the way the setting was just because from checking in on the TV, everything looks altogether different.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/136841/file/253853#t=326.19,430.54"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/136841/file/253853/transcript/71693/annotation/5","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"But once we got there and so it didn't matter to us that we only got on like once a month. Once a month was like our day out a meeting. This was a black day and we danced. Did you have fun? Plenty of it. I tell you what it did then, I guess, is what Soul Train is now to the kids now. But that's what Buddy Dean was. That's where you saw the dances. That's where you saw a lot of stars that you really wouldn't have gotten to see. You got to see him on TV. But you were you are not a committee member and you only got to go up there once but one time and I'll never forget it. It's like embedded in stone right here. This is something that you never forget. I wish I could have, like my brother who got on and Buddy Dean. I mean, so rich, you could really hear just what it meant. And I understand your brother and his girlfriend at the time were on and what happened? They are now married. They are the parents of two daughters who are in college. And they were high school sweethearts. And now they're been married for like 28 years. So when you were you when you were a young teenager here and in the Baltimore area, you were you were a dancer. Yes. I'm dating. That's all I was to do, really, was dance something. Dancing was something that I could do. Morning, noon and night. Morning, noon and night. That's what we did. Then we danced all the time or played dodge ball or roller skated roller skating and dancing was the things that we did there. So music all morning, you know, like before we would leave when we come home, we had those 45, well, then we had some 78 and you would be in the basement.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/136841/file/253853#t=431.32,551.68"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/136841/file/253853/transcript/71693/annotation/6","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"We had a lot of house parties then.

You didn't get on danger. Like I say, maybe once a month we got on, but we were glad to get on. It was truly an honor for us to be on Nobody Danger. And you had a ball? I had a ball. All of us did. We talked about it, and every now and then we get together. We still talk about the fact that we did make it to Buddy Day. So over the years and Channel 13 has sort of even up recently with your granddaughter, June 13th played a big. Art in your life for many years. How many years? Yes. With Derek Turner coming in with my granddaughter, those seven. And he was Nicole called me and she was diagnosed with leukemia. And she was in and out of John Hopkins for her chemotherapy. And that those pictures were taken and those pictures were taken in May. And she said in August and August of 87. And then Jerry passed in January, December 31st. That same year. Same year. And I was just shocked because I didn't even know that he had cancer, that no, it was over at all. You know, the station is really good now. Al Sanders has really he's doing a good job. All right. So now you have you have you're going to have a history now of me going to junior high school. High school. Then I have a brother now, my brother who was on.

So you have some pictures of the Buddy Dean show with with the blacks appearing. You'll have a picture of your granddaughter with Jerry Turner. Right. How does that make you feel? This little piece of this little piece of your own family's history in your own archives? Well, let me tell you, the fact that I was able to really get through and talk to someone and know that it was possible, I can even get this. Really. I was just up, up, up excited because this is like I'm a grandmother. I remember as a teenager I looked at Channel 13. Now here I am growing with a grandkid and my kids also watch Channel 13 because Romper Room was like a babysitter. And so in terms with them and to know that this is like three generations, three generations and it just makes me feel good. It makes me feel proud that I have been able to see all of this call. And it was all really like just fell together. Just fell together some nice. All right. So when you get all this, when you get this thing put together, will you be showing this to some of your friends? Maybe. As a matter of fact, all of them.
