Congratulations to Gerry Forbes, who is stepping away after 25 years.

I know many get their music from other sources these days, but Gerry has been a really special Calgarian through the years. One of those truly nice people that genuinely cares for the people and city he spoke to on radio.

Those secret wish segments were always really touching to listen to, he's helped a lot of people, along with Cjay92 as a station. In a world where people make less of a connection with local radio than ever I think it's important to point out that Cjay still makes a meaningful and special connection with those who still listen and Gerry was a big part of that.

I know he probably doesn't read this site but congrats on a great career and being one of Calgary's best all these years!
