A retired friend of mine who recently moved to the Okanagan emailed me today about a childhood friend of his who once worked as a DJ. I thought I'd try this group on his behalf to see if anyone here knows anything. His email to me is quoted in part below.
"P.S. Do you know if there is a website which keeps 'old' D.J.'s in touch
with each other or the world. I have a childhood friend who was/is a real
character and got into the DJ business in Red Deer when we were in grade 8
(1956 or so). He worked a night shift twice a week on week-ends, then
became involved with a Broadcasting school in Lethbridge. The last I have
seen his name (Jim Elliott) was in an "In-house" newsletter dated June 2000
to the members of one of the Canadian Broadcast Industry. He was being
congratulated for becoming General Manager of one of the Okanagan (Kelowna)
stations. My enquiries to many of the radio stations here have fallen upon
deaf ears; after being very eager to make enquires around the industry they
don't even bother to phone back to say Yeah or Neah about their efforts."
