KPRC 2's look back at the 70s (1979)




Do yourself a favor if you like Houston history and take a look back at the 1979 production of KPRC 2 Houston's "Looking Back at the Future."

Space age suits.  Check.  Disco. Check. Talk about how Houston will be the New York City of the 21st Century. Check.  

Also featured are stories of the 70s, including the Sharpstown scandal, infamous crimes, and the energy crisis. 

"Among the other familiar faces and voices in 'Back,' is Don Armstrong in the gold lamé suit," former KPRC 2 journalist Larry Weidman commented on my Facebook profile. 

Houston TV viewers will recognize Armstrong from his work decades ago to today.  He's been a KPRC 2 anchor, voiceover talent and now you hear him report for abc13 KTRK's SkyEye 13.
