CBS Filming at Betty's Home in CA

 

 

 

The filming was done on Thursday March 17, 2016 at Betty's home in Morgan Hill, CA.   It's a very nice sunny day with temperature in the 70s. 

 

The segment on rabbits is tentatively set for airing on Easter Sunday, March 27 in the "CBS Sunday Morning" program between 6 am and 7:30 am.    Check your local listings. 

 

 

CBS journalist John Goodwin films Betty grooming a white English Angora.

Betty plays with the English Angora does in the exercise pen.

 

The does are having a good time running around.

 

Betty explains how wool is stored then to be used for spinning.

 

John films Betty's purple Angora mitten that matches Betty's purple Angora vest.

 

The filming moves inside, John films the Guinness World Records book.

 

Betty's trophies are a little dusty, hopefully the dust won't show up too well in the film.

 

Then there is a sit down interview.   John has a list of questions for Betty to answer.

 

Either John is very tall or Betty is very short!  It's both, John is 6'6" and Betty is 5'3".

John Goodwin's official title is Digital Journalist/Associate Producer, he works out of the CBS Network San Francisco Bureau.    He covers from hard news to fluff pieces for the network programs, including but not limiting to CBS Evening News, 60 Minutes, CBS This Morning, CBS Sunday Morning, ...  John graduated from the Journalism program at the University of Oregon then moved to NYC to work for CBS.  He was recently transferred back to the west coast to work at the CBS San Francisco Bureau. 

Betty is pretty sure that this is the fluffiest piece John has ever covered!  How many of the above scenes are to be used in the segment, no one knows.   There will be editing done to combine the filming done in CA and PA and to fit the allotted time in the "CBS Sunday Morning" show on March 27, 2016.

In tomorrow's post, we'll see photos of CBS crew filming in PA.

James and His Daughters Holly and Taylor

At Portland, James brought his daughter Holly to the Angora area to say Hello.   It has been a long time since Betty saw Holly; Holly is now 26,  the last time Betty saw Holly she was less than 10 years old.   Holly is now living in Portland, attending graduate school working on her master's degree.



Two years ago, James also brought his younger daughter Taylor to a show.   Betty had not seen Taylor when she was a kid, but amazed at her resemblance to her mother.   Who's Taylor's mother, can you tell?


 

Here is a picture from the 90s, James, Holly, Taylor and mom Shannon.  

Us old timers remember Shannon who was a very popular judge and a top Netherland Dwarf breeder.    Betty had known Shannon since when she was in her teens, and Taylor is a replica image of Shannon at the same age.     Unfortunately Shannon  (September 11, 1965 - February 4, 2011)  passed away in her 40s, young and unexpected.
