Tommy Transit's 60th
My sister writes:
"Okay guys! Big news. CTV is going to cover our birthday surprise for Tom today!
They love the story of people waiting and greeting Tom at different bus stops on his route to wish him Happy 60th today. So please be there if at all possible!!
I just spoke to the producer on the phone and they would like people to be at the first stop where he starts his shift EARLY, so they can interview some of you. Bring your presents, cupcakes, party hats, blowers, whatever!! Of course it would also be good to have some people waiting at different stops on his route – the first run will be the one they are likely to film.
So: first stop is 5th Avenue eastside just before the Granville bridge. The bus loops up from 4th avenue, turns on Hemlock and immediate right on 5th Avenue. The #4 Powell bus goes to the bus stop there and that’s where Tom picks up his shift. His start time is 3:39 this afternoon..
Please be there EARLY – say 3;00 pm so they CTV crew can interview you. Producer’s name is Brent Gilbert.
Have fun. I’ll see if I can join you – but will have to leave work early and I’ve got a lot on my plate today. Let’s wish those rain clouds away for this afternoon!"
We were all there with balloons and sparkly things, I brought my accordion and we sang Happy Birthday for Tom and the news guys. Let's hope it makes the news.
