Now, let's take a moment to remember what Canada looked like when Gord first put on his Shopper's Drug Mart badge.    In 1978, Pierre Elliott Trudeau was our Prime Minister.  The Toronto Blue Jays had just played their second Major League Baseball season.  Terry Fox was training quietly for what would become his heroic Marathon of Hope.  Anne Murray was topping the music charts, and Canadians were gathering around their TVs to watch Hockey Night in Canada, cheering on legends like Guy Lafleur and the Montreal Canadiens, who would go on to the Stanley Cup that year.  Through all those decades of Canadian history, Gord has been a constant with  kindness, professionalism, and a friendly smile at Shoppers Drug Mart.His leadership and dedication, along with the entire Shoppers team, have made that store a true pillar of the community.  On behalf of all the friendly and dedicated staff at Shoppers Drug Mart, the friends you have made, the customers that you have helped, everyone here at The ‘X' Zone Radio/TV Show, my wife Laura and myself, Gord, we all want to thank you.  Thank you for always being there for our family, and for families in St. Catharines that have met you, and have been customers at your Shoppers Drug Mart in the Lake and Carlton Plaza.  Gord, as you step into retirement after nearly half a century of service, we all wish you nothing but health, happiness, and well-earned relaxation.  Gord, congratulations on an extraordinary career — and thank you for being part of our lives since 1978.”Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.Please note that all XZBN radio and/or television shows are Copyright © REL-MAR McConnell Meda Company, Niagara, Ontario, Canada – www.rel-mar.com.
