This picture is from the Vancouver Sun, Nov. 30, 1956. Ron will be happy to know I had not decided on a radio career yet as I was just about two weeks old.

Thanks for this Cartie. Helps to confirm that CKWX was once on 980, and my hair hasn't always been white.
Was this picture taken in the record library, with the upper shelves filled with 78's? We were still on Seymour Street back then.

You should know. You were there!

The poor 78s. Trashed years ago, I imagine. Along with all those transcriptions.

Actually, I thought this was in the Burrard Street building but I don't think I actually set foot in the library. When I'd go past it, I'd generally see Harold or Gene Kern sitting there.
