Here is the story of how I checked #16 off my bucket list...
1989
I was provided a lot of personal growth opportunities at York University. One of them, was 105.5 CHRY, the local campus radio station with approximately 50,000 listeners.
I had wanted to be on the radio and I knew that I would never get a DJ job just walking in off the street with no experience. So, I came up with a plan to ask the station program manager if I could do a weekly sports update, as I noticed they did not have one.
He was intrigued by the thought of a woman doing a sports update (keep in mind that this was before Linda Cohn, ESPN and Hannah Storm, CNN, Kathryn Humphreys, CityTV and Jennifer Hedger, TSN).
He gave me my own Friday mid-morning sports update. Fantastic!! I love progressive thinking people! Each Friday, I would spend 2 hours of prep for my 5-10 minutes of update.

After a few months, I would try to subtly incorporate my boyfriend Scott's name into my update. Great Scott -- how sad! Good thing I only did this for a year.
#16 Be on the radio added to the list 1986, checked off the list 1989.
