LEARNING CHANNEL FOUNDER GETS COLLEGE ALUMNI AWARD; OSWEGO STATE'S HAROLD MORSE TELLS HOW HE TRAVELED "INCREDIBLE ROAD OF CHANGE.".(Local)
Byline: Jennika Pierie Staff writer
NASA satellites, Richard Nixon, the Appalachian mountain region and one boring summer led Harold Morse from a degree at the State University College at Oswego to where he is today.
Morse is a founder of The Learning Channel and founder and CEO of Ovation, an all-arts programming network.
Saturday night, he received the college's Distinguished Alumni Award at the Alumni Anniversary Class Dinner.
Morse said after he was awarded his degree in 1961, he went on to teach sixth grade in Rome. He married a local woman who had graduated from Georgetown University and had found a job there.
After a few weeks of sunbathing on the roof, Morse said his wife suggested a trip to the federal Department of Education to see if there were any openings.
"As it turned out, a student internship had opened up because the kid didn't show up," Morse said during a telephone interview Thursday. "That was the start of an incredible road of change and circumstances that makes me believe there is a God."
