Caroline Parker
A Grade 3 Teacher once told Caroline that she had the gift to gab.... and there are careers where people get paid to TALK!!
In 1987, the Edmonton native wanted to know how rich she could get by TALKING, so she moved to Calgary to get a degree in Journalism. She started her "gabbing" career in Television, anchoring news, weather and sports. Caroline worked at 2/7 TV Calgary, CKND Winnipeg, MITV Halifax and CBC Halifax. But it was in 1997, that she decided she didn't like wearing make-up and being recognized on the street, even when she was wearing her trade-mark baseball cap. So she decided to give Radio a try!
After a stint at CJOB Winnipeg, she met her husband John in 1999.... and then moved back to Halifax where she began working on Kool. Caroline also loves spending quality time with her sons, JJ and Max.

i have moved to south shore and can only get 96.5 when conditions are right. miss the show. my question though is who sat in for you in the last couple of weeks. i was sure i heard a name of ron able and thought it was a well known winnipeg former radio personality but i think he died.

caroline, don''t let griff make you feel bad about crying over the robot in blue steele. i have been a transformers fan since day one, and optimus prime is my favourite!! when he died in the 2nd movie i bawled my eyes out!!! anybody can cry at those stupid fluff chick flick movies. it takes intelligence to feel empathy for a robot! :)

caroline is bad at math. there are 6 sleeps until x-mas not 5?! i thought maybe she celebrated on x-mas eve but she also said she loves x-mas morning with the kids, presents etc. small thing perhaps but it''s bad enough listening to dribble - now we have to listen to incorrect dribble without a voice so get a grip caroline.

carolyn, it was wonderful to meet and speak with you, both friday & saturday, at the "senior''s 50 expo". i now have a better visal of you when listening to kool. thane dunn was the main reason for my friend, norma, and i being there. we hope to see him again in july, at the casino, when he comes, so if kool has any freebees please keep us in mind. griff, griff, griff you can keep up tormenting carolyn as i love to hear her laugh.
earl you are a wonderful stand (sit ??) in host when griff is not there.i really enjoy the program, regardless of the day, it is great company. once again it was wonderful to have met you and hear your little stories. again please keep us in mind for any thane dunn appearances.

we''d like to thank the staff @96.5 as well as the spca for wet nose wednesdays. we really love this segment. after hearing about many animals, we went to try and get joey. another of your listeners snapped her up as soon as the doors opened that day. determined, by sunday we found and got islay(pronounced i-la)-a white husky mix. she instantly adopted us even before we decided to take her. she has been happy to meet everyone, both human and animal alike. transition has been smooth so far,and we will work as a family to make this her forever home. islay is the name of both a river and an island in scotland.

oh caroline, i am so sorry that i missed you on sat. afternoon at sobeys. you had just made an announcement on the air about your location, and we drove in, parked the vehicle and went running into sobeys so that i could id myself as griffs girlfriend from brooklyn. i even had my hubby with me (curtis), and the employees said that you had just left. i was so disappointed. when we went back to the vehicle, i saw the store next door, and now know where you must have disappeared. i believe it had nslc on the sign !!!!!!!!!!!! sorry that i didnt get to meet you, but give griff a hug from me. love you guys, linda
