Pat O'Day Celebrates My Retirement!

b"On this day back in 2000, I retired from daily radio and CISL's Wakeup Club morning show. We celebrated all week with calls from Anne Murray, Lesley Gore, Spencer Davis, Terry Jacks, and many more. I couldn't think of a better person to celebrate with than my old friend Pat O'Day. We grew up together in radio, Pat in Seattle and me in Vancouver, and our paths crossed frequently. We were both among a group of pioneer DJ's recognized by the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame in 1995, and Pat was an honored guest on my final CISL Red Rock Diner broadcast in 2017. Sadly, Pat left us last August, but not a day goes by that I don't think of our friendship and the good times we spent together. Hope you enjoy this snippet from my on-air retirement celebration!"
