Ted Turner's Birthday

[seesawing]

Upon completing the PTC for my 15¢ (AKA "pennies do add up"), I couldn't help but notice that this was Robert "Ted" Turner's birthday (born 1938, in Cincinnati, OH).  His accomplishments are on the "thinking large" scale -- founder of Turner Broadcasting System and Cable News Network ("CNN").  He owns the Atlanta Braves.  He won the America's Cup yacht race (his "dream").  WHEW!  So...what do y'all think?  Inspiration?  Driven?  Destined?  Sound off ~ are we glad he started CNN?

I have heard this man interviewed.

Totally unimpressed by the man within.

Happy Birthday to you Mr. Turner, may you have many more.

I forgot to say, "Happy birthday, Ted."  I've always thought one of his greatest contributions to the entertainment world was saving the classic movies for generations to see.  THANKS!

"Turner Classic Movies presents many of its features in their original aspect ratio (widescreen or full screen) whenever possible – widescreen films broadcast on TCM are letterboxed on the network's standard definition feed. TCM also regularly presents widescreen presentations of films not available in the format on any home video release."--From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
