In 1957 the move was to Channel 7 for "Fred 'n Fae". An estimated 55,000 kids got to be on TV with Fred 'n Fae during their 15 years on TV. Fred and Fae went out on top in December 1967. Fred died far too early. Fae was able to join the Inductees into the Hall of Fame in 2001 and accept the award for Fred and Fae. She passed away a short time after her induction into the Hall of Fame.https://broadcastpioneersofcolorado.com/halloffame.html
