Happy 70 years! I did not realize it was 70 years until I heard it! My mother and younger brother Tom got up and watched the test pattern go away and see Dave Garraway start the show I have watched ever since. I was 6 years old and my brother was 4. We had not had our TV very long. When he end the show with Peace, as we say now" he had me"! l have never watch any other program except "Days of Our Lives " from the beginning. With my cup of coffee Friday I will be watching. Happy Birthday The Today Show.
