Tracy Rowlett Oral History

Watching the local evening news in the late 1980s, my family always had our television turned to the award-winning "Spirit of Texas" news team on ABC affiliate WFAA-TV/Channel 8, which D Magazine in 1989 called "a local television news operation that is, by any measure, among the two or three best in America." The evening line-up that I best remember consisted of news anchors Tracy Rowlett and John Criswell with meteorologist Troy Dungan and sportscaster Dale Hansen. It was a great honor for me to sit down with three of these four gentlemen for one-on-one interviews in 2017. The late John Criswell's oral history may be accessed here: https://emuseum.jfk.org/objects/48012. Troy Dungan's interview may be found here: https://emuseum.jfk.org/objects/48029. - Stephen Fagin, Curator    

Six months after this oral history was recorded, Tracy Rowlett returned to the Museum for an educational Living History program. It may be viewed on the Museum's YouTube channel: Living History with Tracy Rowlett (youtube.com). - Stephen Fagin, Curator
