RPM Lunch at White Spot was GREAT + pics!

Postby Tom Jeffries » Tue Apr 29, 2014 3:00 pm

It was delightful to see a roomful of the best people in the world, all smiling and enjoying the still vivid memories of our Radio days together. I find it incredibly satisfying, but emotional, when I see Rich Ellwood, and Jolly, and TDM, Mike Cleaver, Michel Godin, Ray Ramsey (I have known Ray for 44 years! My Gosh), Cubby, Steve Herringer, Mel Cooper, Bill Nelson, Dave Mac, Kerry Marshall, Neil Soper, Phil Mackesy, Red and Carole Robinson, the amazing Wilf Ray, Bill Hughes, Cameron Bell....I mean, it just goes on forever......Tammy Moyer, my Traffic partner for a decade and a really dazzling talent - Casey White (This lady made me look good for my entire time we were together, and Casey, I wish I could repay by saying more than THANK YOU...but I wanted you to know how I valued your hard work.)
Do I need to go on?

What a blessing that lunch is. Thanks to Red, Carole, Julie Brown and Gord Lansdell.....for taking care of the emcee chores.

Take care, all of you.

Boy, I won the Lottery, getting to work with so many fine people.

I'm with you Tom... The older I get, the more I value the people who made my career and that era of broadcasting so much fun. Each RPM luncheon brings back so many memories, and even stories I've never heard. Next time we have to get a panoramic picture of the entire attendance.

Those who danced were thought to be quite insane by those who couldn't hear the music.

I really, really have to take in one of these meetings. Looks like fun, and as a bonus ..... looks like there are some good-looking chicks there!

I think its funny that Andy and I worked together for the better part of 2 years and never knew the other was in radio because we always talked about our other love ..... aviation.

Cheers everyone.

I think a Flash might help in some of these shots.....no biggie....but, might add to the recognition factor - just a thought.

Hey All,

It was nice to see most people there...a couple knobs but why make a big deal. Red, Carole, Jim Morrison, Mike Cleaver (glad we had a chat and I got to know you better Mike), Ted Wendland, Gord Landsell, Rich Renyolds and Julie Brown - thanks for all the hard work in making these lunches happen. Tom Jeffries, I'm glad you don't make a living doing identity theft - there is only one "l" in Elwood (you're old I understand). Lynne McNamara, Jim Fraser and so many more.

Stirling Faux as always, great to see you - the boy is a class act. It was very nice to see all the NW news guys who I always respected for their skills and for being funnier than the guys who worked as jocks there (except me), Ashbridge, McComb and the delightfulful George Garrett - it was a pleasure.

It was great to see Diana Tchakalian. I asked how my old CFUN and golf course pal Jim Hault was doing and she said better. I really miss seeing Jim at these luncheons. I always admired his work and him as a guy. I hope he can make it out again one day. Jim, I asked Diana to deliver a two-word message from an old inside joke we share and I hope it made you laugh and that was simply - "Hey....Joe!!"

I spelled your name wrong three straight times, Rich....sheesh!

Of course, I can’t spell my own name, so don’t feel slighted.

It was a blast seeing you and the gang.

Thanks for letting us know that Jim Hault is doing better.

Man, what a great group of folks.

Very nostalgic, and also a reminder about how fast this all goes.

Thanks Rich I was under one of the tables - inspecting shoes and laces for an expose - to think you called me a knob :glasses7:

Jack,

That's funny. You're safe and not on my list - I'll send it to you if you're interested! Kidding...I hope the shoe & laces inspection went well. And here I thought the only thing that lurked under tables was Sales Deptarment people. Jack, you gotta start hanging with a better group of folks!

The lunches are a good giggle. Red, Carole, Gord, Jim, Mike, Rich (Renyolds), Julie, Arran (Henn - a delightful person and very talented), Michael and all the folks who work to stage the function are to be commended. Maybe I'll work the door at the next one and keep the knobs out?
