One thing a learned about small town radio when I went to the Blyth Theater show about CKNX was this.
When WW1 and WW2 were happening small radio stations across Canada were vital in keeping the local communities informed about the local people who went to fight for our freedoms. Unfortunately this included reading the names of each person who died and were never coming home.

So to all the people who were on the air during that time. Thankyou for your service.

Last spring ( this was not planned) I was on the same plane with our war veterans to Holland for the Liberation celebration. We received a Water Canon Salute upon our arrival.

The day after the celebration people still came out of there homes to talk with us and to say Thankyou.

We were there to visit family, but our plans changed a bit, Seeing the Canada flag on every home was heart warming.

My family is alive today in part because because members of the Canadian media did there part in helping to win the world for peace.

Again I say thankyou.
