The interview with Gaybo was really good, must check out the podcasts to send to those who missed it. Weel done @ghook !!!
February 12, 2010 at 11:55 amenjoyed Gaybo’s interview. I went to CBS in Donore Avenue (where Gaybo also went – 25 years earlier, along with other luminaries like, newsreaders Cockbourn & Charles Mitchell).
We too had elocution lessons with (what I assume was the same) Ms. Burke. It was, of course, incredibly farsighted of the Brothers ( I was part of a group that won some competition in the Fr. Matheew Hall in the 60s). She was a lovely lady who understood kids and had an avant-garde element to her (not that we knew what ‘ag’ meant).
Be very interesting to see if any of your other listeners have memories of her.
Enjoy your show (via podcast) in Rome.
