Vassar Yesterday
Ah, the glamour of working in television. While interning at Poughkeepsie Cablevision, Thomas Paivanas '76, Paul Leslie Kovit '75, and Eric Richard Wassyng '75 (l-r) worked as cameramen for The Sophia Show, a live, local-access talk show. This photo, which originally ran in the Winter '75 VQ, shows the crew and Sophia Paivanas (Tom's mother) herself "on location" in Poughkeepsie. Though The Sophia Show has disappeared from the airwaves, its legacy lives on in the students who still do field work at television stations in Poughkeepsie.
