Just as Alley’s USS Paney story made an impact on many young cameramen when it was first shown, here’s a story from 1973 shot by Darrell Barton of WKY-TV that evidently made a mark on its respective generation.

[Edit: As a update to this post, I have the physical 16mm newsfilm this story is on in my possession. It and the rest of the WKY-TV stories that are on the film that I had transferred can be watched over on my Vimeo account. I’m presuming all the stories were shot by Barton despite only this particular one being actually verified as his (as well as helping him win NPPA PoY in 1974).]
