In 1958, Johnny Cash began his first Canadian tour with a stop in Lucan….Terry was there with his new camera…. Johnny was twenty-six, Terry was sixteen. In 1960, Cash returned to Lucan and after autographing one of Terry’s enlargements from two years earlier, he hired Terry to photograph the concert that night in Lucan and in Guelph the following evening.

Brought under the pretense that the hosts had appointments on the mainland, Terry, host of the Friday Morning Show came to the CJAI studio to cover the last hour of their show. The surprise worked and with cake and bubbly, a dozen radio volunteers showed up.

The fabulous birthday cake was baked and decorated by Amherst Islander Lyn Fleming.
