More about Eric

Eric was featured on a September 1980 WPVI-TV segment of "Prime Time," interviewed by Jim O'Brien, who was a popular local TV personality. It was a wonderful introduction to orienteering, and was shown repeatedly over the next few months. I was DVOA secretary at the time and our phone number was the contact given at the end of the program for anyone wanting more information about our club. I could always tell when the segment was being shown again, as our phone would start ringing! Unfortunately, Jim O'Brien died in a sky diving accident and the tape was never shown after that. I did get a copy for our club library. It is #58 and also includes a brief WPVI -TV segment with newscaster Don Pollack interviewing Peg and John Edwards.
