Old-School John Harvard

 
Winnipeg Free Press Oct 13, 1973

On his final day as L.G., here's a little old-school John Harvard ! 

Some John Harvard trivia for you: Harvard is not his real last name. According to the Weekend Magazine story below, he started out as John Heidman of Glenboro, Manitoba.


After 30 years in broadcasting, 18 of them with the CBC, John Harvard threw his hat into the political ring becoming Member of Parliament for Winnipeg-St. James in 1988 and served for 15 years. He was appointed Manitoba's 23rd Lieutenant Governor on June 30, 2004 and served until 2009.
