A couple of weeks ago, a colleague of mine from work, also a Newfoundlander, came across a collection of old Newfoundland Herald magazines in one of his storage boxes. He brought me in a copy of the 1982 Christmas edition of the famous Newfoundland entertainment and television magazine. Browsing through the pages was quite an entertaining experience. Checking out the shows of the day, Quincy, One Day At A Time, That’s Incredible, Little House On The Prairie was almost like entering a time machine. (I could provide links for you guys, but, hey, you have Google… use it!)
I scanned a few pages… it was hard not to scan the whole magazine, but these few jumped out at me for some reason.
In the Letters section, there was a letter from a reader updating the world on some of the latest regarding Shannon Tweed’s Newfoundland roots. Then there’s a Christmas message from the Premier, Brian Peckford, the light-hearted comedy of Clyde, Christmas wishes from Captain Newfoundland (no, not Danny Williams), an update on the world of local darts (Go, Baxter Brown!), and a sample of the TV listings. Click on the pages below and give the articles a read through… go on, b’y! You’ll enjoy it!
It was a cool experience browsing through this little paper time capsule. I hope ye all enjoys da stroll down mem’ry lane too b’y.
T’anks a lot dere Allan buddy. Yer a wunnerful grand young feller.
