Manistique, MI - CBC
celebrated its 37th birthday on April 4, 2004. According to
the Pioneer Tribune, "The first 'C' in the name stands for the
American Cancer Society, the 'B' for Bay Cliff Health Camp,
and the final 'C' for Crippled Children, which is now known as
Easter Seals." Also according to the article which appeared in
the April 1 edition of the Pioneer Tribune, CBC began in a
live broadcast from St. Francis de Sales School over WTIQ in
1968. CBC was first broadcasted over the television in 1973.
With all the tradition
of CBC over the years comes one man who has been there for it
all. Widdis Racing team member, Pete Widdis, was recognized on
April 4th for his contribution to CBC over the years. Among
other tasks, Pete co-broadcasted the telethon for many years.
We here at WiddisRacing.com would like to acknowledge Pete for
all his hard work over the years in not only community work
such as CBC, but also in Widdis Racing. His hard work and
persistence is admirable and respectful to everyone he meets.
Congratulations
Pete!
