I remember when they became too worn, my father passed them out to my sister. They would fly them through the air, just as they do with frisbees today. Some of the performances at VOGF were various orchestras, such as Sammy and his Gang, Gus Power, Mrs. Little, Laura Blackmore, Miss O'Reilly, and Tom Howell, as well as many more performers and recordings. We operated for about four years. Due to pressure and dependence on his job, and it being a heavy financial obligation, coupled with some lack of support, father closed the station down. I never did go into broadcasting after that, but I do have the distinction of being the first female announcer in Newfoundland. I met and married a singer and piano player who performed many times on VOGF. Last year we celebrated our 60th anniversary. Gus Power is still playing and singing at the age of 87!
