a call from the past

["David W. Harris" <dwh@totalnetnh.net>]

Those checking Clea Simon's column in today's Globe for the little call
letter or frequency errors known to haunt the broadsheet were looking in
the wrong place.  The front-page story about Walden Pond notes (near the
end of the article, on page A13) that a Mr. Christi George has been
coming to the pond for 66 years and "his radio is tuned, as always, to
easy listening on WHDH."  Wow!  It seems Mr. George has a magic radio
that pulls in signals from the past.  I want one of those!!!  Wait...I
don't remember WHDH as easy listening (although I remember WHDH-FM being
such).  Maybe the gentleman is pulling in signals from the future, in
which case I would pay a lot more attention to the stock market reports
than I do now.
