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 August 4th, 2008:
- MONDAY, AUGUST 4: At 12:51 a.m.
Saturday morning, Dave and Laura Wawrzyniak of Boonville welcomed a
daughter, Page Elizabeth, into the world. She is the first grandchild
for Dave and Deb Wawrzyniak. Last evening, Jeffrey Hulbert and Tonya
Tackett of Lowville welcomed a daughter, Aubree Jean, who will join four
brothers at home. Congratulations from the White and Hulbert families.
Today, Dorothy Burdick of Lyons Falls celebrates her 90th birthday, and
her sister-in-law, Vera Lastowski of Boonville, celebrates her 80th
birthday on Sunday, with best wishes to both from family and friends.
- TUESDAY, AUGUST 5: President
Abraham Lincoln signed into law the first federal income tax on this
date in 1861 to go into effect January 1, 1862, but it was rescinded in
1872. She played the role of Jennifer on the TV series WKRP in
Cincinnati, and today Loni Anderson, a native of St. Paul, Minnesota,
counts 64 birthday candles.
- WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 6: This
afternoon at 3:52 p.m. we reach the halfway point of summer, with fall
arriving at 11:44 a.m. on Saturday, September 22. We wish a happy
birthday to Marion Wheeler of Sunset Nursing Home on her 84th birthday,
with happy wishes from her family. Chevrolet registered the Corvair name
in 1959. This was a new rear-engine compact car. These models are
considered rare and collectible, one of the most significant cars in
automobile history. Richard Hollingshead Jr. first registered his patent
for a drive-in movie theater today in 1932. He was granted the patent in
May of 1933.
- THURSDAY, AUGUST 7: We’ve had
another two-week period of unsettled weather. Last evening around 10
p.m. another thunder, lightning and rain storm invaded the area. I
recorded an 18 mph wind at 10:01 p.m., which toppled a tree across a
roadway, requiring the fire department to respond. The village rain
measurement was .38 inches. Today, David Moselle of Lowville celebrates
his 80th birthday, with love from his family. The pop group, the Bee
Gees, enjoyed their first number one song in America, “How Can You Mend
a Broken Heart,” in 1971. They recorded eight more number one songs.
Only the Beatles and the Supremes scored more chart topping hits. The
first picture of the earth from space was transmitted by the Explorer VI
Satellite in 1959.
- FRIDAY, AUGUST 8: Happy birthday
to Gordy Campany of Denmark, who celebrates his 82nd birthday. His
sister-in-law Eileen says he doesn’t put as many miles on his bicycle as
he once did. Another rainstorm arrived yesterday in Boonville, with
small hailstones falling on Merry Hill at 1 p.m. We’ve had measurable
rain six out of the last eight days and often with thunder and
lightning. The TV series, “Night Rider,” aired its last episode tonight
in 1986. David Hasselhoff and his talking car, Kitt,” a Pontiac
Firebird, had starring roles. David went on to star in Bay Watch for
many more seasons.
