[TR] Walter Cronkite now Jay Leno

[Carl TR]

A request was sent to the Tonight show back in March about pre-event 
publicity as well as a suggestion/request for an appearance.   Whether the 
email was even considered is another issue.

and now that Jay has another show scheduled for the fall - who knows.

Regarding the Red TR - it was his brother's which Jay inherited.  It had at 
one time a mail-list or VTR decal on it - but that could have changed since 
then (you can see it on the cover of the magazine referenced in one of the 
recent emails)
