Not music or radio related, but an interesting story with Newfoundland and US ties.  (And it is an obituary, so I hope at least Fansome will enjoy it ;D)

I listened to his story on As It Happens.

Very moving tale. Just about to give up and die, too.....

Peace!

Have I made a wrong turn?

Perhaps this site is actually "The Dead Poets Society" or,
is it simply an ethereal cry.. "I'll take mine on the rocks"??

Hmmmmm..... :D
