Re: CFRB in 1965
Wow, I was lucky to work with 14 of the 24 people in some capacity. I was and am so lucky to have had a door key for all these years. My first time in the building, hanging out, was around 1978. When I added that up to 37 years I had to double check it on a calculator 
. My first employment in the building was in 1981, and on and off since then .

Of course the other observance is 24 on air people. Who these days can even begin to imagine staff sizes like that.

In all seriousness though, I could easily get past 24 at NT1010 fairly quickly. Those 24 then and now included a bunch of news people as well as the dee-jays. But a news/talk station isn't the norm, that's for sure.
