I had just graduated with a B.A. from the University of Toronto and realized that qualified me to continue living with my parents.
Arlene Bynon tracked me down on the phone in Pasadena and spoke with me Friday on SiriusXM’s “Canada Talks” (Channel 167).

I was in Grade Three in 1966 and loved that this series was on two nights a week–same Bat-time, same Bat-channel.
