Roxanne Tellier – Eye Saw the Light

I’m not a big fan of this ‘aging’ stuff. But unfortunately, dealing with all the things that can go wrong as our bodies mature beats the snot out of the alternative.

Sometimes the drama of politics has to take a number and wait for my attention. This was one of those weeks. I had some routine cataract surgery that didn’t go as well as planned, and it took a lot of strong-arming to get that rectified.

I’ve long had the reputation of being the loudmouthed rebel, who takes no sh*t or prisoners, either for herself, or for those she loves. Not sure if it’s the Irish or the French in me, but that’s just the way I’ve always been. If you come for my people, you’d better come prepared for a fight.

It was now late 1970.  I’d returned from Los Angeles and was hired back at CHUM as a producer by Program Director J. Robert Wood.  I was working with Production Manager Warren Cosford, who’d replaced me when I left for LA in late January.  Warren was a Winnipegger and a pretty cool guy.
