Radio ... and Me - 25

My fascination with radio goes back a long time, and it was during my 4 years at St. FX University that I had a chance to learn how to work on radio shows.
In January of 1966, the usual “mid-winter blahs” were claiming all our waking hours. These were the days before the Super Bowl, when sports fans and football fanatics take a fling on a football game. Many universities and some high schools, at that time, began to organize a … Winter Carnival, complete with sledding and skating and ice-sculpture events, and a round of social activities.

The highlight at St. FX was the legendary “Sophomore Variety Show,” a hilarious mix of amateur comedy skits and music numbers, performed by both young and veteran students, many of whom went on to careers in show business. The Carnival Committee of 1966 wanted to go all out: they organized an ambitious program, called the 'Klondike Karnival,' to run over two weekends and the week in between.

-- The Halifax Mooseheads of the Québec Major Junior League (officially, 'la Ligue de Hockey Junior Majeur du Québec') are having an excellent season, and have been voted the Canadian Hockey League's top-rated team!

Two of their major stars, centre Nathan MacKinnon (from suburban Cole Harbour, home of superstar Sidney Crosby) and left-winger Jonathan Drouin, were both named to Team Canada at the recent world Junior hockey championships in Ufa, Russia. A third local team member, right-winger Martin Frk, played for Team Czech Republic.
