Charles Kuralt is pictured tubing down the Apple River in 1972. His report on the Walter Cronkite hour proved to be great publicity for Somerset and the surrounding area. Over the years, Kuralt would return to Somerset to tube and enjoy the local cuisine. Photos courtesy of America Academy of Achievement
