The Google News archive has some Vancouver Suns on-line (the full run, someday, would be nice) and one of the papers has the local radio listings for this date, 50 years ago. No doubt the geezers will see some familiar names.

As a side note, I die when I look at real estate prices in the paper. A house at 4247 West 15th can be yours for $11,500. $1200 down.

If you google-map the address and drop-in for a streetview you'll see the house is still there; a little gray bungalow with a red door. The location, a block north of Pacific Spirit Park, would push the land value alone to near or at a million today.
