Just before the start of the New Year, a man of the future...Frank "Dr Tomorrow" Ogden passed away.

Many thanks to Dick Drew, here is an article from Mediacaster Magazine about the passing of the futurist, best selling author, columnist, frequent commentator and interviewee, "narrowcasting" host, and former Manager of CKGM in Montreal.

Small world it would seem. I met Frank when in the company of david ingram.

Today while cleaning a part of the house I am not usually looking into I found a torn envelope sent to my mother
probably from me while in David's employ.


On the back personally signed by Frank Ogden of Creative Philately
also stamped the Postal Revolt Caravan July 1981 - david ingram

both gentlemen now meeting near a remote island with a warm breeze blowing in their sails. :bow:
