April 8, 1988 7:00 pmCBS Sixty Minutes
Everyone has fifteen minutes of fame according to Andy Warhol. That's how long America's attention span remains locked on one particular topic.
I beat the odds. I managed twenty minutes of fame on a CBS Sixty Minutes episode where Mike Wallace interviewed me and a couple of the guys I worked with. Marion Goldin produced that episode (her last with Mike Wallace). Why do I mention it on this blog - I beat the odds - again.

My dad is famous! haha
I was famous for twenty minutes... twenty-one years ago.
Hey, I only got a few seconds on a few local news programs last Nov. 15th.
By chance is the interview posted anywhere online? I didn't know that you were a celebrity! LOL
You're a SUPER STAR!!! Can you put the episode on youtube and link to it?
Can you believe that was all 21 years ago? Time sure does fly by...I was 5 years old.
I have the video on VHS somewhere in the house. I've also been in US News & World Report and Forbes in past decades. The girls have seen the 60 minutes piece and a 6 part series the WJBK - Detroit did where I was featured.
The YouTube thing sounds like more vanity than even I am capable of.
Opus #6 had a more interesting episode, rounding the kids up into her soccer mom van as her house caught fire while the neighborhood burned to the ground. I was simply a talking head in my moments of fame.
