Let us remember today those who fought for the freedoms that so many take for granted. We must remain vigilant to ensure our essential freedom are not eroded again. I pay special tribute to my father who bravely served the Canadian Armed Forces during the Second World War. Lest we forget. 🇨🇦

FAX technology actually dates back to the Second World War. Interesting article in one of the 1946 Saturday Evening Posts I have in my collection about the new technology and suggests it would fit with that other new tech of the era - FM Radio - as a transmission method rather than phone lines.

Before there was podcasting as a side hustle for many celebrities, and before TV became common place, there was radio. This ad from a 1946 edition of the Saturday Evening Post I have in my collection shows a number of celebrities with successful acting careers who also had radio shows.

I stumbled across this list of NHL player salaries published in the Edmonton Journal that I saved from the last season the Oilers won the Stanley Cup. How things have changed since then.

As my Oilers prepare to take on the Florida Panthers in a Stanley Cup final rematch, I wanted to share some images from this Panthers inaugural 1993 season media guide, which I just stumbled upon while cleaning out some boxes in my basement. Note the first advertiser that appears in the media guide.

Cheering on my two home teams as they go into battle on the ice and with the White House. Hoping for a good outcome on both fronts.

if you were a radio reporter in the 1980s or 1990s, you’ll know what to use this cable for.
