radio rat race in 1996 to get a real job -- in El Paso, Texas (letter carruer for the United
States Postal Service); tripled my income in one year. I'm now into my third career, after
designing HVAC systems for major hospitals and fiberglass railroad cars. All those years I sat
in a comfortable stool in air-conditioned studios interviewing famous persons, and now I'm out
walking in temperatures nearing 114 degrees (somtimes) delivering social security checks. It's
not nearly as much fun as racing elephants or wing-walking (twice) but it is satisfying."

the new tower, trying to use my primitive cell phone, it would not work so that I could
call the GM and tell him we had 'topped out' the tower. I left after congratulating the
crew. By the time I got to the interstate, the tower had fallen, and when I returned to
the site, I found a 20 foot section of 5 foot face tower laying across my tire tracks of
10 minutes earlier."
