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 19th, 2008:
- MONDAY, MAY 19: On Saturday, Hank
and Eileen Treen of Boonville celebrated their 50th anniversary, with
best wishes from Ethel. Happy 29th anniversary wishes to Helen Hoffert
from husband Terry. A tornado did touch down at 7:30 p.m. Saturday night
near Camden. There was some damage, but no injuries. In 1976, Jackson
Hill Weather Station reported 2-1/2 inches of snow above the 1,400
elevation this morning and 4-1/2 inches on tomorrow’s date. It was May
18, 1980, when at 8:32 a.m. Mount St. Helens in southwest Washington
State erupted. Killed were 57 people, and 210 square miles of wilderness
was destroyed.
- TUESDAY, MAY 20: Happy 41st
anniversary to Glen and Sharon Pominville of Glenfield, from their
family and friends. Joan and Jerry McVoy celebrate their 47th
anniversary from friends, Dick and Sandy Bush. In weather history, a
tornado touched down southwest of Kansas City, killing 45 people. It was
the worst weather disaster there on record, and there was one house that
was destroyed. All that remained was a small table and a fish bowl on
top with a fish still swimming in the bowl.
- WEDNESDAY, MAY 21: Happy 42nd
anniversary wishes to Sandy Reese of Port Leyden from husband Bob and
from daughter Kristen, Darren, and from Dylan and Devan. Connecticut
became the first state to put a speeding-driver law on the books in
1901. Drivers could not exceed 12 mph on county highways and 8 mph
within city limits. In 1881, the American National Red Cross was
established in Washington, DC, later to become the American Red Cross
when given a U.S. charter in 1900. My annual spring vacation starts
tomorrow for a one-week timeframe, so there will be no more reports
until next week.
