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 October 15th, 2007:
- MONDAY, OCTOBER 15: On Saturday,
Danielle Brasie and Clarence Davis Jr. were married at the Glenfield
Methodist Church with congratulations from all her family. Also on
Saturday, Becky Sturtevant and Richard Young of Lyons Falls welcomed the
birth of a son, Dakota Dale Young, at 5 pounds, 4 ounces, with best
wishes from family and friends. On Sunday, Matt and Kris Maurer of

candles today, with best wishes from her family.
- TUESDAY, OCTOBER 16: On Saturday,
our class of ’62 enjoyed a mini reunion in Freddy’s banquet room in
Boonville, with 18 original classmates and two wives enjoying some great
memories. We had such a great time that everyone agreed that we should
get together again in the next few years. Folklore indicates that today
is St. Gallo’s Day, and if no rain falls, a dry spring will follow.
Today, Sylvia Zeigler celebrates her 80th birthday, and tomorrow Nora
Wiedmer will celebrate her 80th, with best wishes from the Zeiglers. In
1958, Chevrolet introduced the first El Camino, but it was not a big
seller and was discontinued two years later. Four years later, a smaller
version was offered and was a big success.

wedding anniversary wishes to my sister and brother-in-law, Charlotte
and Chan Willoughby of Boonville, and it’s also her birthday, with best
wishes from all the family. Doug and Carol Smith of Ohio, NY, celebrate
their 43rd anniversary, with congratulations from their four children
and eight grandchildren. Singer Glen Campbell received two gold albums
today in 1968 for his albums, “By The Time I Get To Phoenix” and “Gentle
On My Mind.” Motorcycle stuntman, Evel Knievel, was born in Butte,
Montana, in 1938.
- THURSDAY, OCTOBER 18: Happy 27th
anniversary wishes to Marty and Debbie Shue of Port Leyden, from their
children and Mom and Dad Lallier. The employees of Community Bank in
Boonville wish Karen Pawlicki of Boonville a happy retirement as today

branch office. Rock and roll legend Chuck Berry was born in San Jose,
California, 81 years ago. Historically, the U.S. took possession of
Alaska in 1867 and it became our 49th state on January 3, 1959. Alaska
now produces 25 percent of America’s oil and over 50 percent of our
seafood. A moose came back for the second time at the Croniser farm on
the West Road in 2000. In 1989, Saranac Lake in the Adirondacks measured
one inch of new snow this morning.
- FRIDAY, OCTOBER 19: Happy 44th

Jeannie C. Riley, of “Harper Valley PTA” fame, was born in Anson, Texas,
62 years ago. Her first appearance at the Boonville Fair in 1973 brought
one of the biggest crowds ever, then appeared again in 1984. “Harper
Valley” received the “Song of the Year” honors from the Country Music
Association.
