If you are in your 40s or 50s and from this area you probably still have fond memories of scurrying home after school, grabbing a brownie and milk and then cozying in close to a cranked up radio, just in time to join Aunt Olly, Tall Fireman Paul and other friends on her program. Former radio personality, Aunt Olly (Olly Penner) of Altona is retired, enjoying life, and just enjoyed a ride in a Pontiac Solstice convertible, supplied by West Park Motors, with former CFAM co-worker, David Wiebe. The ride was arranged when David spotted a red 1966 Pontiac convertible a few weeks ago. This car reminded him of the time when fellow CFAM employee, Sam Schellenberg had given Aunt Olly a ride in news anchor, Harv Kroeker’s candy apple red Pontiac convertible about 40 years ago. After many years of making children smile and surprising them over the radio by telling them where they would find their birthday presents, it was Aunt Olly's turn for a surprise. She had no idea what to expect when David called to say he was coming to pick her up… the convertible was a TOTAL surprise and she LOVED it!
