A memorial tribute to Charles Kuralt, twenty years ago


On Friday, July 4, 1997 we heard the sad news from New York that Tar Heel had died. Four days later, a memorial service was held in Chapel Hill. On this, the twentieth anniversary of Kuralt’s passing, collection volunteer Jack Hilliard recalls that day when a group of North Carolina’s finest gathered to celebrate the life of “CBS’ poet of small-town America.” (A View To Hugh)
