I've had a chat with Ted Reynolds' wife Joan this afternoon and she was pleased to give me the good news that Ted has been moved from the main Lions Gate Hospital building to the seniors' care facility, Evergreen House, located on the same property. Unfortunately it is very unlikely that Ted will be able to return home, but Evergreen House will be much more comfortable for him.
As mentioned in my previous message, Ted would welcome company and he would love to hear from friends and colleagues through cards and notes if a visit isn't possible. If you plan to visit, Joan advises that mornings are best when he is rested and has a bit more energy. He tires by early afternoon and the evenings are not good at all.
The address is:
Evergreen House,
231 East 15th Street,
North Vancouver, B.C. V7L 2L7
Telephone: 604-988-3131

07/30/08 - Pioneer broadcaster Ted Reynolds is recuperating in Lions Gate Hospital in North Vancouver after undergoing three serious operations within months, the most recent to remove a large blood clot on the brain which was the result of a fall on the street near his home. He began his broadcast career at CFJC Kamloops in 1945, progressing to play-by-play sports at CJVI Victoria from 1947-56 and handled numerous on-air duties with CBC Radio and Television in Vancouver from 1956-91. He was also the first host of Vancouver Canucks telecasts for Hockey Night in Canada on CBC-TV when the team joined the NHL and is the recipient of numerous sports broadcasting awards.
