BoomerZoo Almanac for September 2-8, 2007: Going where no dollar has gone before!
This week marks the anniversary of both the first and last episodes of Star Trek. It still seems hard to believe that the original series only ran for three seasons between 1966 and 1969. But it acted almost like a time machine into the Space Age: The final episode of The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet—definitely a 50s-era show—aired on September 3, 1966, just one day after Star Trek premiered. Then, on September 2, 1969—the day the very last original Star Trek was broadcast—we were swept into a whole new age when America’s first automatic teller machine (ATM) began dispensing cash at the Chemical Bank in New York.
