This edition of Sky Studio is dedicated to Edward (Budd) Kent who joined former colleagues in Sky Studio, November 21, 2019.

Budd  was in CJIC TV sales in the 70s followed by over 30 years in clothing sales and in all that time I don’t think I ever saw him without a smile. He was always welcoming, friendly and sincerely glad to see you.

He was with Wayne Turner, Jerry Nichols, Ruby Newell, Frank Gardi and others in television sales during what many of us called the golden days of broadcasting in Sault Ste. Marie. There were many big and even more medium to smaller account clients on television in those days. Then, there were many network programs that businesses and organizations wanted their commercials on and there was also all kinds of local programming that attracted sponsors.

Budd’s many connections, knowledge of product, excellent sales skills, gregarious nature along with his always stylish and immaculate appearance contributed to his success and continued to serve him well in broadcasting as well as the clothing business, the latter including to my recollection Tip Top Tailors and Jack Fraser.
