27 May 2001

Last night 2MCE-FM held its 25th anniversary party, so today's program was punctuated by numerous unannounced visits from hungover revellers wanting to reminisce and to see how the studios have changed since the '70s, '80s or '90s.  Some wonderful memories were rekindled and a few ghosts laid to rest over this special weekend.  As the only original presenter still with the station I was expected to remember all 25 years worth of names, faces and program names, as well as arrange the seating so that long-time mortal enemies were not sitting at the same table - only a few mistakes slipped through. (sigh)
