George's Tid Bits
by George Capron

The following are excerpts from some of the calls that George received during his radio show on WBRV-WLLG The Moose, as well as observations he made on the air during the week of May 3rd, 2010:

MONDAY, MAY 3: Happy wedding wishes were sent out Saturday to David Post Jr. and Nicole Webster who were married at 1 p.m. at St. Martin’s Church in Port Leyden, with congratulations from Dad and Mom Post and family.

Father Lawrence Marullo, pastor of both the West Leyden and Constableville Catholic churches, celebrates his 36th year of his priesthood, with best wishes and congratulations from his congregations.

Five years ago this morning a moose walked across the road on Route 28 near McKeever.

Traditionally the hummingbirds and orioles should arrive in the North Country this week; so far I’ve had no reports.

Franki Valli, lead singer of the 60s group The Four Seasons, is 76 today. He is a native of Newark, NJ. With the group he added up 29 top 40 hits and nine as a solo artist. The group was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990.

TUESDAY, MAY 4: Harold Winters and wife Phyllis of Boonville have 53rd anniversary wishes to share with each other, with best wishes from their children and grandchildren.

Happy 19th anniversary to Ken and Karen Knoblauch of the West Road from Mom Croniser and the family.

I received a report of hummingbirds at Mac and Judy Ingersoll’s home on the Echo Lake Road this past Sunday, right on schedule.

Baseball fans will remember this day in 1965 when San Francisco Giants outfielder Willie Mays pounded out his 512th career home run setting a National League record. He was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1979.

WEDNESDAY, MAY 5: A brief but intense rainstorm crossed the area shortly after 1 p.m. yesterday. There was thunder, lightning, and heavy rain. The Merry Hill Weather Station measured .38 inches of rain and I clocked a 25-mph wind at 1:04 p.m. Hancock Airport in Syracuse had a gust of wind at 63-mph, then the sun appeared.

Today Stella Domagala of Glenfield celebrates her 94th birthday with special wishes from her children, 10 grandchildren, and 25 great-grandchildren, plus wishes from Kenny and Carol Kulpa and their family.

George Pickard of Boonville celebrates his 90th birthday today with his friends at Kortenaer Village.

Rob and Ashley Schneider of Port Leyden have two reasons to celebrate. At Crouse-Irving Hospital in Syracuse, their first daughter, Abbie Jean, came into the world on Sunday at 4 pounds, 15-1/2 ounces, and daughter number two, Leah Robin, arrived Monday weighing 5 pounds, 1 ounce, and all are doing fine according to Great-Grandma Ward.

THURSDAY, MAY 6: The families of Dan and Michelle Planck of Talcottville send congratulations to them on the arrival last evening of a son, Donivin Gaige. He weighed 9 pounds, 4 ounces, and was 20-1/2 inches in length. He joins a big sister and two big brothers at home.

Moose Radio congratulates Newsman Brian Best of Deer River on his 14th anniversary, as he joined us in 1996.

In 1928 Chrysler offered a new model, the DeSoto, selling 80,000 cars the first year. Production ended in November 1961 and was replaced with the Chrysler Newport.

FRIDAY, MAY 7: I received a card to announce a belated 57th anniversary wish to Carl and Audrey Fenton of the Glenfield area, who celebrated April 18, from their card playing pals.

Today Dennis and Barbara Fruin of Hawkinsville reach their 33rd anniversary, with happy wishes from Barb and Gene.

One of my early rock and roll favorites, Ricky Nelson, was born on May 8, 1940 in Teaneck, NJ. While appearing and singing on the Ozzie and Harriet TV show, he became a teen idol, scoring 30 top 40 hits from 1957 to 1962. On New Year’s Eve in 1985, he perished in a plane crash in DeKalb, Texas.
