I'm not the biggest Tom Young fan ... not a Tom Young fan at all actually ... I don't consider him all that bright and find the position he takes on issues to lack any depth or intelligent thought ... but he can get people to talk which is certainly useful in his job. In Tom's defense and to Tom's credit ... he will be the first to tell you he isn't the sharpest tool in the shed.
I wish him all the best in his retirement ... but I'll be glad to hear another voice in that afternoon time slot on Rogers News radio.

I remember him well from my time in Saint John. Two questions: Why is this in the Winnipeg Free Press? Why/where is he heading to/in Nfld |

Heh, I remember him and my dad would always have a good battle on the phone...usually resulted in Tom hanging up on him. Would always be a good laugh on the school bus.

Two questions: Why is this in the Winnipeg Free Press? Why/where is he heading to/in Nfld Somebody had to break the story. Doesn't everybody want to retire there? He has family on the rock(Daughter, Son in Law) .....expecting a new Grandchild #3. elementz......that means your Dad got the best of the battle. Tom has given me the dial tone treatment a time or two as well. He's like mold..........grows on ya after a while. ;D |
