My year with David

 I had the pleasure of working for David at the opening of Global in 1973-4.

Global had the broadcast rights to games of the WHA Toronto Toros and David chose me  as  his play by play man. I was in illustrious company with  Peter Gzowski and Ken Dryden as my partners in the booth. Dryden was on hiatus from Montreal Canadiens to complete his law degrees. Gzowski of course was Canada's premier radio broadcast man at that time.
I was able to travel to Toronto each weekend as I was only on contract with CBC Radio at that time.
David  was a fine man. I certainly enjoyed working for and with him during that hockey season, We both later wound up at CBC.
