ShakyWalton Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Thought I would start this thread to put memorable dates in..havent seen one on the forum...if there is...sorry....if anyone has anything to add ..go for it... April 21st In 1985, Foster Hewitt died at 83 years of age. And was inducted into the CAB Hall of Fame in 1989. Famous for his play-by-play hockey broadcasts, he called his first game on February 16th, 1923, on CFCA. The station was owned by the Toronto Star where his father was Sports Editor. Foster's son Bill followed in his footsteps, taking over television hockey play-by-play from his father in 1957, when Foster decided to stay in Radio. Pop superstar Prince, widely acclaimed as one of the most inventive and influential musicians of his era with hits including "Little Red Corvette," ''Let's Go Crazy" and "When Doves Cry," was found dead at his home on Thursday in suburban Minneapolis, according to his publicist. He was 57. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuxfanabroad Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 On this day, in 1978, I tried using dental floss for the first time(mostly just the upper-row). Attempts to perpetuate the habit have been sporadic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McIlhargey the Lesser Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 1959 - Alf Dean caught a 16-foot, 10-inch white shark that weighed 2,664 pounds. At the time it was the largest catch with a rod and reel. Seriously. You hear that Alf? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
