Step into a heartwarming, unexpected, funny, and nostalgic walk through a world of journalism gone: the iconic “CBS News Sunday Morning with Charles Kuralt.” With behind-the-scenes takes of famous figures and “regular folks” whom Kuralt celebrated, Once Upon a Time on Sunday Morning celebrates the customs, culture, and the extraordinary people of America. Bud Lamoreaux, eyewitness to it all, takes us to a time when “flyover country” and “the Coastal Elite” still liked and respected each other as one nation, indivisible.
“Once Upon A Time On Sunday Morning has a magical feel to it. It will be a gift to millions of Sunday Morning fans and should be required reading for any student of broadcast journalism.” — Jeff Fager, former Chairman of CBS News and Executive Producer of 60 minutes
“Bud Lamoreaux was behind the scenes for every minute of Charles Kuralt’s “CBS News Sunday Morning.” Once Upon a Time on Sunday Morning captures an era of broadcast journalism in its golden era. His charming, insightful, and funny memoir brings us back to a time when television was at its best.” — Douglas Brinkley, professor of history at Rice University, Katherine Tsanoff Brown Chair in Humanities, and author of Cronkite
“Sunday Morning was the best show on T.V. when Kuralt was the best anchor and America was the best country. What that was like and what it means now is the soul of Bud’s heartwarming, hilarious, thoughtful, and dishy ramble. I loved it and I was there.” Robert Lipsyte – New York Times Pulitzer finalist
“Kuralt & Co. set the standard for broadcast journalism with a heart, reflecting a different time of American optimism and neighborliness. Bud Lamoreaux’s Once Upon a Time on Sunday Morning is a joyful review of the show’s interest in news, the arts, sports, and the extraordinary lives of ‘ordinary’ Americans.” — Margaret Sullivan, Media Columnist, The Washington Post
