Summer 2009 Update I'm happy to report that we have had even more responses so I am updating the site once again. -------------------------------------- Cathy's Photo Pages Cathy Hanson (ne Coughlin) has kindly ransacked her photo archives for us. That's Cathy - left - at the CHOO on air board circa 1980. The great photos on these two pages all date back to 1979-1981. Many thanks Cathy! ---------------------------------------- | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Hi John, Wow! What a great site! It sure brought back memories and it's so interesting to find out what my former colleagues are doing now! I started at CHOO in the fall of 1978 and left in the spring of 1981. You were asking about the change I made from announcer to news - what happened was I filled in for someone in the newsroom while they were on vacation and really liked the job. When an opening came up, I talked Gord Taschuk into hiring me and the rest is history! I changed careers six years ago and now teach in the Creative Communications course at Red River College in Winnipeg. I love it! We have a great radio station, 92.9 KICK FM.

Cathy comments: "[Tom] had a passion for country music... he loved deciding what he'd play next.... this was back in the day when announcers could actually choose what they were going to play and when!" | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
