TELE-FOLKS DIRECTORY: FRED McCONNELL




Fred McConnell owned a music store in Boulder, Colorado, in the late 1970's when the Orkan alien Mork came to Earth.  Later Fred became the conductor of that city's symphony's orchestra.

But until the early 1970's, McConnell made his living as a video technician for one of the major TV networks (probably NBC).  He may have based in Boulder, but he worked wherever the network sent him.

Apparently he didn't like the work - the stress made his hair fall out eventually.  So when the opportunity came to follow his love of music by purchasing the music store, he jumped at it.  And it kept him closer to home with his daughter, Mindy.
