New Orleans Television
by Dominic MassaMore than 50 years ago, with the flip of a switch and the turn of a dial, local television became an unforgettable part of New Orleans culture.
For many viewers, the memories remain vivid, even if much of what they saw was in black and white.
I am very honored that my Dad, cinematographer Jim Tolhurst, was included (pages 60 & 61) in this newly published book. I grew up with all these faces and characters, so this book was a very enjoyable experience for me. It is also nice to know that my Dad and his work are still remembered so fondly.

Thank you so much, Easter! I am very proud of my Dad and miss him terribly. He died on Labor Day, 1995. We lived in different states for a while and sometimes I still feel like picking up the phone and calling him!

HUGS to you, dear Evann!
It looks like he was a very good influence in your life. God be praised for him! Thank you for sharing with all of us an important part of your life!
