Jack, Fred.....those marine reports you posted knocked me out....if you have anything else of mine, I'd be glad to help costwise to get it posted, even to me direct. I never even thought of taping and saving anything I'd ever done on the air.....I don't mean to sound vain about this.....I didn't even have anything from CKGM/CFOX Montreal days until Marc Denis came through with my newscast the day after the moon landing in 1969. Again, an amazing recollection.
Hindsight doesn't cut it, I know. And today, I'm so down about what I could have done but didn't.
I have been very fortunate to have worked in radio among some or many of the greats......Sinclair, Jr., Cherington, Burns, Wall, Burrows, Finnegan, Charlie Johnson, Chuck Chandler, Ancell, Hagopian, Webster, Murphy, Boyd,
Macken, Good, Swangard, Hood, Ramsden, McComb, I can't go on.....I'm going to forget so many, and I can't do that. Every one of the guys and ladies I worked with in radio were special......from the reception desk to the outhouse.....I cared about you all.....there are many on Jack's BCradiohistory site who deserve to be there.....I am honoured to have been a part of his website, and still he's able to add to it. I think all of us should thank Jack Bennest for what he's done for B.C. Radio.....I'd hate to think the greats of yesteryear would be forgotten. Thank you Jack for all your work. Sincerely!!!
