Bill is still in the hospital but he finds it tolerable due to a radio brought in by "one of the jerks here". The best radio reception is from a station in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, Canada. Moose Jaw is an 825 mile AM radio transmission from Camp Abbot. The station Bill listened to was probably CHAB 1220 kHz AM. CHAB was affiliated with the Canadian Broadcasting System and began broadcasting in Moose Jaw in 1933.
Went to Moose Jaw once. Don't remember the moose statue though.....
ReplyDeleteIt reminds me of the statue of "Babe", Paul Bunyan's blue ox. I believe I saw the Babe statue near Bemidji, Minnesota in about 1968 while traveling to Duluth from Los Angeles in my '57 Chevy. I was 19 years old at the time.
ReplyDeleteThere's a huge statue of Paul Bunyon and his blue ox in the Manhattan, KS city park. I haven't the foggiest idea how P.B came to be associated with that town, however.
ReplyDeletePaul Bunyan makes sense in Bemidji, but in treeless Kansas?? BTW, the cervine in the picture is named Mac the Moose.
