Roger Tory Peterson on CBS Sunday Morning
Our own Roger Tory Peterson is going to be featured on CBS Sunday Morning tomorrow during their Almanac section for his August 28th birthday. RTPI’s Exhibits & Public Programs Coordinator Jane Johnson sent CBS lots of artwork and images of Roger yesterday, and apparently they are going to be using video and audio footage they have from a story they did on him back in 1980. Be sure to tune in! And happy birthday, Roger!
