My mom Grace Toliver and my stepdad Bernard Toliver. We won the TV in a drawing at our supermarket. It was color, "and everything," prompting viewing parties among my middle school friends. We already had a black and white one in the den. Though there were few color shows at the time, NBC kept us entertained. My folks were heading out to a formal affair at the California Youth Authority where my stepdad was a probation officer. Photo taken in our living room, Circa 1963.
