Hi Sweetheart: Here's the pic you've been waiting for. Don't lose this, otherwise the next request for this same priceless pic, means moving up your radio history website. The tallest guy standing in the back is Bruce Arundel, I'm standing to his right. By the way, perhaps you never heard, but a year ago last December I had "open heart surgery" 5 bypasses to keep me alive. I was off the air for 6 months, the very first time in 42 years of broadcasting my program. During the heart operation , they say my mitral valve was leaking, so they replaced it with a "pig valve." The only negative now is when I eat bacon, I feel bad about my fellow pigs. Always nice to remember your smiling face at CJOR. Your radio buddy Wilf
