In The KET Story, author O. Leonard "Len" Press traces the genesis of Kentucky Educational Television from its early planning stages around 1958 to the sign on of the network on September 23, 1968 and continues on for the next quarter century, with insights into the current-day leading educational network of our nation. Mr. Press recounts his first-hand story of how Kentucky Educational Television was born, was nurtured during the "campaign years" from 1958-1968 and grew into its destiny of becoming an instrument for improving and enriching the lives of young and old alike. Readers will enjoy taking the often-bumpy journey with Mr. Press, beginning when he and his wife Lillian left Boston on a "one-year adventure" and ended up. . .Kentuckians. Mr. Press tells us how literally thousands of citizens at all levels of influence from the schoolhouse to the state house became engaged, and without whose persuasive and persistent voices KET would still be an egg trying to hatch. You will find the start-up years particularly fascinating, starting with Mr. Press's introduction to Governor Bert T. Combs, his gamble into Kentucky politics, his adventures with Governor Edward T. Breathitt .and the account goes on.
