Happy Birthday Jack Bennest

Happy Birthday Jack Bennest

Postby radiofan » Wed Jan 19, 2011 9:17 am

Today in the Okanagan community of Oliver, chances are pretty good you'll hear city councillor and radio historian Jack Bennest belting out his rendition of The Beatles'
"When I'm 64".

One more year Jack and you'll start getting monthly cheques from Mr Harper.

:occasion4: HAPPY 64th JACK! :occasion4:

:groovy: HHave a great day :occasion7: And a great year! :yahoo:
Those who danced were thought to be quite insane by those who couldn't hear the music.

Wanting to wish Jack Bennest a happy birthday, I tried to think of something special to say or do.
I remembered I had a 1947 Vancouver Sun newspaper in my garage.
Here is a listing of the 1947 radio shows young Jack may have been listening to while playing in his crib.

Happy 64th Birthday Jack.

Thanks to all - been a great day of congrats - think I will keep quiet when the cheque arrives next year.

Thanks to that 1947 radio schedule. Will mention to Bill Hughes that he might have been doing "Roving" at the time of my birth..but it could have been Bill Rea.


Several Jack programs on NW - Jackpot and Jack's Place
