On Wed, Nov 14 a bunch of us left work early and headed down to the CBC building on Front St East to join the enthusiastic audience for The Hour with George Strombolopoulos. He worked the crowd in line while we waited to take our seats -
grabbing Suly's camera and snapping the top photo on the fly. George was as friendly and upbeat in person as he appears on camera. He let us know what to expect between taped segments and then hung out for a chatty Q&A after the stage
hands wrapped up. When asked about the #1 Cdn Competition a few years ago, he said Tommy Douglas was his first and only choice - well, maybe Neil Young - and, although he doesn't feel "proud" of helping Tommy reach the top spot, he would have felt responsible if he didn't win. The up close and personal pose was his idea, honest! (photo courtesy of Tura Adam)
