Inquiry from the CBC

[Jack Bennest]

The CBC is looking for information on


roy lavallee
roy lavalley


1962 at CJAT Trail

Jon Pearkins - can you help? Anyone out there cross paths with a lavallee?

I've asked one of my CJAT co-workers, as I didn't hear the name there. But, a quick look at the Edmonton phone book tells me that it is a fairly common name, as there are two listings under Roy and several more under R. So, I'm sure there must be scores across Canada.

Thanks for trying

1962 was a long time ago

he must have been a newsie or an announcer to file a story to the CBC in 1962 that is now in their archives


it was about doukhobors bomb blast March 5-6, 1962

1962 at CJAT Trail

Dave Glover, who worked at CJAT for many decades, and continued to live in Trail after he retired(early 90's), would probably remember this person.

CBC should be able to contact him there... he is in the phone book.

thanks shall get on it

Dave Glover's son, Dale, is also living in Trail... I don't know how old he would have been in 1962.

Another source would be Gord Brady from CKQR in Castlegar... this is where all the action was, when the government moved in and took the kids away... I lived in Castlegar and got to know alot of the history... much of it was put into a documentary that is on the Knowledge Network once in awhile.
