Electrolytic capacitors in sets made in the 1960s and 1970s are so old now that they will need to be replaced. But for the most part they were gone by then, leaving the electrolytic capacitors. A few manufacturers continued to use some of them into the mid 1970s. Please add to Dave’s unique Remembrance Page at . But by the mid to late 1960s there were very few paper capacitors in radios and TVs. In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial donations be made in Dave’s honor to Colonial Gardens Guest House, 121 Steppland Road, Butler, PA 16002. Burial will be made at North Butler Cemetery. North St., Butler, PA 16001 where a funeral service will immediately follow at 3:00 with Pastor Floyd H. All are invited to attend a visitation for Dave on Tuesday, May 30, 2023, from 1-3 PM at the Thompson-Miller Funeral Home, Inc., 124 E. Dave is survived by his daughter, Lindsey Ann Jewart of Pittsburgh, PA two brothers: John Jewart and his wife MaryAnne of Nokesville, VA and James Jewart of Chicora, PA two sisters: Deborah Markiw and her husband Michael II of West Sunbury, PA and Sherri McCarty and her husband Scott of Ellwood City, PA and numerous nieces and nephews. Dave was a “typical Jewart”, good working with his hands and tinkering in the garage. He enjoyed hunting, being outdoors and rock n’ roll music. Dave was a true biker and loved his Harley Davidson motorcycles. He worked for Contraves Corporation for a number of years until his retirement. Dave was a 1971 graduate of Butler High School and then went on to graduate from Penn Technical Institute with an associate degree. Born in Butler, PA, he was the son of the late Charles R. Jewart, 70, of Butler, PA, passed away peacefully on Thursday, May 25, 2023, under the care of Colonial Gardens Guest House. Currently sorting out the handful of running orders and ‘scripts’ (I use the word loosely) from my days as a producer/presenter to hand over to the Portsmouth University library. Wish I had found this page a week ago – would have loved to have attended the reunion. One name I have forgotten was the studio engineer – we used to have to beg studio B time from him to do pre-records and if he didn’t exactly loathe us, I don’t think he was very fond of us. I remember, and appreciate, Andy Ferris’ help running our programme – and sitting in the booth for him, during his late night show, logging the record times and screening the phone in callers. In 1977 we staged a studio invasion for the student Rag Week and ‘kidnapped’ Anton Darby. From memory the original programme controller was the mellifluous Fijian Eugene Fraser, moonlighting from Radio 4, before ‘Jumping Jack’ took over – he split his time between Victory and hosting game shows up in Scotland. Our half hour show always over ran into the Jazz programme but he was very gracious about us stealing his time. I think you were a little more friendly Chris but ‘Student Access’ wasn’t universally popular. I recall that we were not popular with the newsroom and were warned to keep our distance from the formidable (and sadly departed) Chrissy Pollard. When I had to give up and concentrate on exams we recruited Roger Cartwright – who, I think did a bit of ‘Interning’ (if that is a word) for the news room – and Matt Hopper who, sensibly, dropped out of college, got a proper job with Victory and has made a long and successful career as a presenter and voice artist. In January 1978 George East promoted us to our own half hour show (still ‘driven’ by Andy as were were not trusted with the decks and eight tracks). I produced a student slot on RV in 1977 – initially 15 minutes in the ‘Community Desk’ local access section presented and ‘driven’ by Andy Ferris.
