On Break: Week #01

I will be taking a break from posting blog topics for the weeks of June 28, 2020 and July 5, 2020.

(I will return with a new post on Sunday, July 12, 2020.)

To keep Progressives Chat active, and to allow for readers’ comments, the topic threads of “Vacation: Week #01” and “Vacation: Week #02” will be good for seven-day periods covering each week.

I will include with this a video that happened to catch my attention.

I used to watch the broadcast networks’ soaps. A publicist, named Alan Locher, has been publishing to YouTube video discussions with a number of people—most obviously actors—connected with those dramas in the past. (I think they use Zoom.) Featured more prominently have been cast members from former CBS series As the World Turns (which ended in 2010) and Guiding Light (which ended in 2009). His channel is titled The Locher Room.

A different Locher Room video was published last week, on Wednesday, June 24, that is about Pride Month. Locher, who is gay, welcomed several guests to discuss the 50th anniversary of the first Gay Pride March. That occurred on Sunday, June 28, 1970. (Related report: “In Celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the First Pride March: 14 Iconic Photos from Years Past”.)

Given that June 2020 is almost over, and I am leaving this “On Break: Week #01” to run for a full week, I figured I would share this here. Duration is 1 hour 15 minutes.
