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 28, 2008:
- WEDNESDAY, MAY 28: I’m back to
work after a restful fishing vacation at Lake Placid. At 1 a.m. Thursday
morning, wet snowflakes were in the air and it was a cold windy week.
Our group of diehard fisherman included Eric and Jake Pfendler of
Boonville, Tommy and Colby Pfendler from Rochester, Bob Goppert from
Missouri, Mark Hudon, Ricky Kipp, and “Chop” Ron Rondell, all of Old
Forge, and Andy Seelman and myself of Boonville. We didn’t catch a lot
of fish, but had a good time. Three births were reported this morning.
First, congratulations to Shane and Cheryl Mooney of Forestport on the
birth of a son, Aiden William, born Friday, May 23. Kyle and Jessica
Widrick of Croghan welcomed a son, Winston Walter Widrick on Sunday.
Monday evening, Rob Fruin and Raelyn Stinebrickner of Boonville had a
son, Logan William Fruin, who joins a sister at home. Yesterday, Dick
and Neva Jones of Brookside Senior Living Community of Lowville
celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary, with best wishes from their
family and friends.
- THURSDAY, MAY 29: Congratulations
to Eric Planck and Mallory Wiedrick on their upcoming wedding on
Saturday, with love from their families. John and Francis Buneo of Port
Leyden celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary today, with best wishes
for many more from their five children. Happy 83rd birthday wishes to
Alice Morin of Boonville from daughters Dianna and Debbie, and
sons-in-law Dave and Bob. Comedian Bob Hope was born today in Eltham,
England, in 1903, and was the fifth of seven brothers. He died in Tuluca
Lake, California, at the age of 100 on July 27, 2003.
- FRIDAY, MAY 30: Happy 88th
birthday wishes to Eleanor Hoskins of Lyons Falls from husband Tom and
all the family. Tomorrow Wanda Lewicki of Lowville will observe her 92nd
birthday from her family and friends. At 2:40 p.m. this afternoon in
2006 a bolt of lightning struck the Chuckie Myers’ dairy farm on Route
12D, Boonville, completely destroying the structure. In 1901, the cannon
in the Boonville Little Village Park was dedicated. As a prank, the
cannon was fired during Harley and Jean Gleasman’s wedding reception on
July 6, 1957 for the last time, as the barrel was later plugged. On
tomorrow’s date in 2002, a small micro-burst struck the Rector Road area
west of Martinsburg. Roofs were torn off and trees were uprooted, but
there were no injuries reported. Comic actor Harvey Korman died
yesterday at the UCLA Medical Center after complications of a rupture of
the abdominal aortic aneurysm he suffered four months ago. He starred on
the Carol Burnett Show in 1967 and co-starred in the movie “Blazing
Saddles” in 1974.
