| The
Founding of the Rod Serling Memorial Foundation There were several attempts to memorialize Rod Serling following his death. Don Snyder, former general manager of WNBF-TV, in editorial on two different occasions, urged the community to remember Rod Serling in some significant manner. Two young ladies from out of town who worked for different television stations suggested the new high school and Recreation Park be named for Rod. On June 11th, 1983, Mayor Juanita Crabb and the Binghamton Local Development Corporation made possible the world premiere of "Twilight Zone The Movie" at the Crest Theatre in Binghamton New York. |
