Legendary band leader still going strong

One of Vancouver’s super seniors is celebrating again.

Most people Dal Richards’ age retired 30 years ago, but as he marks his 95th birthday, the legendary band leader is still working full time!

“We’re going to be performing at the Panorama Roof of the Hotel Vancouver very soon, and I’m looking forward to that because the happiest 25 years of my life from 1940-1965 were spent playing every night at the Panorama Roof.

Minister of State for Seniors Ralph Sultan presented Richards with another title: “Hepcat Laureate of British Columbia.”
