However, if there was a year to do it this early, this is it for Edmonton, with the City's first Terrorist Attack still very close in the rear view mirror of local history. Christmas and Remembrance Day will have a lot more meaning for many Edmontonians this year.
I remember a friend saying publicly, in September 2001, that things had changed permanently, but it was not until this recent event that it really became true for many of us.

The August 2nd web page announcement of their retirement is still posted - http://www.xl103calgary.com/583-2/
No word yet as to who is joining the Coach to form the new morning show.
Vinnie Taylor still doing weekend mornings on XL-103 . . .
