His career has spanned 6 decades, including interviews with Premier of BC Byron Ingemar Johnson (1947-52), time spent sipping cocktails and chatting with Queen Elizabeth on the Royal Yacht Brittania, and an interview with British Prime Minister Jimmy Callaghan at Number 10 Downing Street. He once won not one, but two Grey Cup bets with Canadian Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson, and has the cheques, for the princely sum of one dollar each, to prove it.
