Lynn's Comments: When my first husband and I moved to Ontario, one of the jobs he had at CHCH TV in Hamilton was as a cameraman on their televised wrestling series. We didn’t have kids at the time so I spent a lot of time at the TeleCentre up on the lighting scaffold watching wrestling!

Lynn's Comments: These kinds of calls did happen. In the small town where we lived in Northern Manitoba, everyone knew where we lived and what our home phone number was. It was a few minute walk to the dental clinic, so folks expected my husband to be able to see them at any time—no matter how inconvenient it was. It wasn’t until the "new dentist" aura wore off that he had the nerve to say, "Take two aspirin and all me in the morning!"
