KRON TV liked my presentation and hired me but not as Art Director. It took them two months to concede that I did qualify. Five assistants were hired. The reason for my choosing them was because they were ex art classmates. Here my social skill not only blossomed but a touch of ham accompanied it. Now there was no fear to talk to people either in person or by way of microphone or camera. Speaking to large groups became second nature. Fortunately, KRON was the first privately owned station to get color cameras, so I invented a system that guaranteed the compatibility of telecast color. CHromaCHron was internationally used in the early days of color TV which resulted from my delivering a variety of technical papers to engineering groups.
