| Chris and His TV |
As a 9 year old, Chris made a deal that he would read 30 minutes per day for 365 days. In return, he could get a TV. Little did anyone know...he did it! And after completing the task, Chris' grandparents took him to pick out the TV. But, Chris wanted a small, portable TV to take into his room as well as to his many swim meets. His goal was to watch baseball, duh! His grandparents had another plan. They wanted him to buy a bigger TV and when he objected, they refused to purchase it.
After learning that Chris did not get his TV because he chose the smaller, less expensive one, Chris' parents took him out to purchase this TV that you see him holding in the picture.
This TV brought the entire block the news of the Bay Bridge collapsing during the 89 quake and was the only link to civilization during that time.
