NOVEMBER 20TH 2012 Nice morning with frost about -2 for the overnight low...in 1981 we had quite a storm with freezing rain, snow and wind..about 4 inches in the Midland Barrie areas and up to 1 foot in the Blue Mountain Creemore areas...it cause lots of driving problems and even CKBB went off for a few hours...MUCH the same in 1984. 1947: Britain's future Queen, Princess Elizabeth, married Philip Mountbatten, Duke of Edinburgh, at London's Westminster Abbey. The world listened on radio...the Wedding Sounded great but the RECEPTION was not that great... Sir Wilford Laurier was born on this date in 1841..Mark Twain (no relation to Shania) in 1835 and Foster Hewitt was born in 1902..."the original OLD YELLER'...Loved him! Canadian Tommy Ryan died on this date in 1961. He was the the one who invented and introduced "5 Pin Bowling" to the world above a jewellry store on Yonge in Toronto. (of course he also bought your jewellry:) Actress Bo Derek turns 56 today. She was the blonde beauty in the movie "10." If you can't remember her, just imagine a blond Angelina Jolie with her hair done up in macrame. KEN TREWHSUS SAY you know you are getting old when a fortune teller asks if she can Read your FACE. have a great day.
