October 4, 1965…Pope Paul Visits NYC

One of many TK41s at Yankee Stadium where a huge public mass was held. There is a paper sign on this camera with the papal crest and I assume this designates this as a pool camera. The mass was carried on all three networks who also had a few of their own cameras there.

    I’m figuring that the camera was most likely from WNBC in New York. What beautiful color in this photograph. Seems like yesterday sometimes.
