Had a fabulous time at CKCU-FM 50th anniversary reunion. My show’s technician, saved the scripts to my show, The Children’s Hour which I had written by hand (1986-88). I also did stuff like news reading on air. I first met @marksutcliffe.bsky.social here as a CKCU volunteer high school student.

I can safely say it was a “Bazaar” morning with visits to the All Saints Westboro United Church, Unitarian Church Fall Fair & the Danish Club Bazaar at Ron Kolbus Lakeside. Cycling was fine and Alex and I were glad to be able to get around before the freezing rain forecast becomes reality.
