Re: RIP Vic Cummings
He was hilarious back in the early 80s when the Y&R was still on CHCH. He would mock the characters like Victor Newman, during Community Happenings, halfway during the show. A great era for CHCH, coupled with TV 11 Newsroom.
Cheers,

Re: RIP Vic Cummings
WoW! I don't remember a lot from those days but I think I remember this...I was still a teenager.
I worked with Vic Cummings at CHLO in St. Thomas. In fact - one afternoon while I was working a live afternoon show, Vic came into the small studio. He had a seat and we started to chat as the songs were playing.
Vic offered me a cigarette! I took it and he gave me a light. But I had never smoked before. I had no idea how to smoke a cigarette. I would take in a big drag and immediately release it into the air.
I heard Vic say - Oh my! :-)
He then taught me how to inhale. I liked it - and from that day forward, until about 35 years ago I smoked up to 3 packs a day. Many cigs just burned away in the ash tray while I did my shows. Holy shit!
Good night dear Vic. Godspeed...
