No sister. Only child. No Dad either... My mother and grandmother raised me in my grandmother's house. After I wrote that post, I remember that the only reason that there was the GE 21" B&W set in the livingroom is that my Grandma won it in a contest at the grocery store... Otherwise, we wouldn't have had one at all. I guess my family was part of the anti-TV movement that believed TV would put an end to reading and family time... My mother bought the little Hitachi color set for her bedroom because her co-workers would talk all the time at work about their favorite TV shows, and my Grandma wouldn't allow any TV watching in the livingroom except for news and Lawrence Welk. So that, in combination with my interest in the technical aspects of TV, is what started my TV hobby at age about 9.
