Got out to enjoy this great day with my new 'ride.' Another sign of progress as I graduate from the four wheeled cart to a single, simple cane. Getting around pretty good and feeling better everyday! Thanks to my family and doctors for and thanks to all of you for your on-going love and support.

It’s #WorldRadioDay today! Here’s me living the dream in the summer of 1981, rocking the evening shift at FM 103 Saskatoon. It’s also proof that I once had hair.

Sad to hear that John Donabie has passed away. I listened to him during his days at CHUM FM & Q107 in Toronto and said “That’s what I want to do!” His knowledge & passion for music, along with his easy going on air manner inspired me to do just that. Thank you, sir. I hope I did it as well as you.

We go back to the U.TV days, then I followed her over to CTV a few years later. Now she’s retiring, but I ‘m staying for a while longer! All the best to Rhonda Fuller, one of the best producers ever and one of the nicest humans ever! Enjoy your new life!
