[nfbwatlk] maybe of more interest to CFB members: rare 1958Vancouver baseball broadcast

[Albert Sanchez]

Hi Dean and List,
What a find! I remember listening to Bill Stephenson during the fifties 
while I was growing up on Whidbey Island in Oak Harbor. CKWX was one of many 
Canadian stations I could hearwell, sometimes better than the Seattle 
stations. I was fortunate in that I could be listening to Bill, then a short 
spin of the dial and be listening to the great Leo! Thanks Dean for the 
wonderful post.
