One year ago today, loyal listener and unofficial mascot, Sir Francis Drake, The Dancing Labrador left this world to run in eternity with his tennis ball.. In 14 years, 10 months and six days his smile never left his face. Rest in peace, son. Thank you CKCU for all the love you showed Drake and the many dedications and tributes hosts aired in his memory, and the beautiful card signed by volunteers and staff at the station. I love you all....Thank you for keeping Drake's memory alive.
