Bob's Early Days
Auction WQLN
Every year WQLN, the public television station Bob founded in Erie, PA, held an auction to raise money. Bob, who was very comfortable in front of a camera, was always ready to jump in to do whatever it took to raise funds. In this clip, he led the 1976 auction.
Don McQuaid Poetry
Anyone who knew Bob knew of his love for poetry. In fact, he started every meeting by reading a poem! The only thing that makes this video of a young Bob Chitester discussing poetry with Poet Don McQuaid better was that it was filmed in the WQLN "woods."
