Now working in Public Affairs at the TTC.
From Danny, December 2001:
Surprised to stumble across this site, especially to see may picture. I worked at NY from 1981-1987.....started in the old house on Main Street, and then moved over to Kennedy Road....Also worked at Cfny as a student back in 1978, doing a student news program. Was at the station the day Dave Marsden was hired....To make way for Dave, they let Lee Eckley go (Lee was a classmate at Humber College, along with Ivar Hamilton) Lee ended up at Chumfm..is still there....
My fondest memory....A Saturday morning news shift....I arrived at 5:00am, and was met by a weird man, armed with a crowbar...
He held the crowbar to my neck, and then told me he was going to smash all the equipment.....
Weighing the alternative, I suggested he proceed to smash...
He let me go, so I ran into the old AM studio...a guy by the name of Johnny Rogers was on the air....since he was talking on the air at the time, I headed for the FM control room, fearing Samatha Taylor was on he all-night shift...walking into the control room, I was relieved to find big Nick Charles behind the Mike.....we called the cops...Nick put on a long record, we grabbed a broomstick, and headed down the hall.....we were met by two Peel cops, guns drawn.
The culprit used the crowbar to smash the outside door.....great memory....
