>> The Puritans were English Protestants in the 16th and 17th centuries who sought to purify the Church of England of Roman Catholic practices, maintaining that the Church of England had not been fully reformed and should become more Protestant. << (Wikipedia)
Dick Purtan was one of many wonderful morning men at CKLW.

Re: The Big 8 Turns 90
Good catch. That was from their copy, but I missed it. I believe they've since fixed it on their site, and I've corrected the first message, but left it in your "rebroadcast" so people can understand what you're referencing.
