\"\"<\/a>On Facebook, Wojtek\u00a0Gwiazda kindly shared the following message from\u00a0Terry Haig (who has been subbing for Ian Jones on the MLMB):<\/p>\n

Dear Friends,
\nI am distraught that the final edition of the MLMB did not go out properly this past weekend because of technical glitches. The show can be heard on line by clicking on the search button on the RCI website and writing in “Maple Leaf Mailbag.” Then hit “programs” and click “listen.”<\/p>\n

My apologies that we could not spend our final hour together as planned. Once again, I thank you all for your undying love, support, insight, graciousness and generosity. You are wonderful and magical.<\/p>\n

I shall never forget you. Be well, everyone. Au Revoir and peace!
\nTerry H.<\/p>\n

I should note that, the Maple Leaf Mailbag was one of my favorite RCI shows to catch on shortwave. It was informal, quirky, interactive and always fun. It also had a very strong international listenership. Terry has been an excellent sub, but\u00a0admittedly, I’ve really missed hearing my good friend Ian Jones on the show.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
