Boulder native Natalie Wood joins Boulder Channel 1 TV news as anchor
Sep 23rd
Natalie Wood (yes it’s her real name)anchors Boulder Channel 1’s first daily newscast. The Boulder Native stayed in town for college where she earned a Bachelor’s degree in Mass Communication from The University of Colorado… But she wasn’t quite done with school yet! From there, she went on to get a Broadcasting Certificate from The Ohio Center for Broadcasting. During that time, Natalie interned at Fox31 and CBS Denver where she had some “OMG” moments when she assisted in national stories such as Balloon Boy, a visit from First Lady Michelle Obama, and The Amazing Race casting call…She paid her dues at an NBC affiliate in North Dakota where she produced and hosted the evening news. SO EXCITING! Natalie is even more excited to be a part of the daily newscast at Boulder Channel 1.
If you have any story ideas, Natalie would love to hear them! You can contact her at nataliewood@boulderchannel1.com.
Airport Days -WWII dance . Three 90 year old vets and one Girl from the French Resistance
Jun 20th
We went to Boulder airport days and night where there were several WWII vintage airplanes. It was pretty much a hoot and I will put up some video on Boulder Channel 1 later.
At night there was a dance in a huge hanger at the back side of the airport. The whole area was set up with army tents, jeeps, a tank, reenactment men in uniform. Inside the hanger was a big stage with a 10 piece orchestra playing swing tunes. There was a Bob Hope comic, Frank Sinatra guy and 3 Andrews sisters. Plus there were a couple of thousand people. All Boulder all fun night.
People were having pictures taken with the soldier on a jeep in front of an Avenger bomber. On man who saluted me as I was videoing was an older gentleman and apparently not in costume. He was in his WWII army dress uniform. I aimed the video camera straight at him through the crowd and he gave a salute. He was a captain in the army during the war. His infantry badge and campaign ribbons told it all. He said “Oh this is real all right, I was there”. You lead men” I asked. He shook his head yes and turned and walked away before I could ask more. WWII combat vets are like that. I tw as a night in history,
I met a 88 year old man from army intelligence smartly dressed in his uniform. He had married a 17 year old girl from the French Resistance who was actually dressed in a red striped shirt, Black dress and back beret. Couldn’t the Germans spot you as resistance we asked? No this is what all girls wore. She was a bike messenger for the resistance. She met her soldier and married him. 66 years later they looked as happy as can be. Unbelievable.
Another 90 year old man was staring at a Bomber. On his shoulders it said Army Air corps. He flew B-17s in General George Patton’s army against the German Afrika Korps Led by Rommel in Tunisa in 1942. His dress uniform was even desert tan. Rommel put up a hell of a fight he said, but he was no match for us. We just kept coming. All of these men were very fit 90 somethings. They were up , walking and alert.
