It wasn’t 85 years ago today but close to 55 years. That’s when I was looking for a job and you asked me if I wanted to learn some TV in Prince George. I did! Seven years later I was in Vancouver at CHQM. The rest is history. Thanks for getting me started all those years ago. Have a Happy Birthday and a wonderful 2018. All the best Ron.
Happy B’Day Mr. Robinson!
You and your Colleagues perform a Great Public Service by your work with PSR and I for one thank all of you!
Much Success for PSR in 2018!
Nice to see the comment from Mr. Bell.
Happy Birthday Ron. All the best in 2018.
Happy birthday Ron. Been a long time since we worked together, but it was always a pleasure. You were one of the pro’s.
Cheers
Hi Ron, hope you have a great birthday. I was looking up info on you for your old friend Jim Robson in Vancouver and thought about Google. Well here we are. Will let Jim know where you are. You did a tape for me and the ice comedy routine I performed in 1962 when you were at CKWX in Vancouver. You were a class act then and still are. Allthe best to you and yours in 2020.
Cheers John Bate.
