HOPE AND HEROES

A very touching part of the evening was the return and first public appearance of Dick Maloney. Mr. Maloney had a fall about a year ago that left him a quadrapalegic. In his speech he talked about the excellent care he has received from The Rehabilitation Centre and St. Vincent's Hospital. He also spoke of his wish to get back on the radio for his show called Sentimental Journey which airs on Oldies 1310 on Sunday mornings and to also get back to singing in concert. Since this event the radio show is now back on the air. Mr. Maloney is pictured above with his lovely wife Carrie Cole. http://www.dickmaloney.ca
