I just read a great story about how the soap opera, The Guiding Light is being cancelled after 72 years of broadcast. The story appeared in online news source, Philanthropy today (a service of The Chronicle of Philanthropy). From the article it appears that TGL is donating it’s wardrobe to a New York City charity devoted to offering low income women free interview clothing. What a thoughtful and useful idea! Good on TGL.
Also, I must admit that I was once an avid Guiding Light fan. Under the heading, where were you when? On the day that President Kennedy was shot my mother was multi-tasking (ironing and watching TGL as I sat nearby) when the show was interrupted to announce the horrible news. I guess that TGL had a good run but, it’s always sad to see an old friend go.
