<\/p>\n

January, 1995: <\/span>My first trip of 1995 was to South Bend, Indiana, where I conducted an air talent seminar for David Hayes<\/span> and the folks at Federated Media. Most memorable about this trip: <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

1) <\/span>My two pieces of luggage were the very first two items to appear on the Baggage Claim carousel (always a good feeling).<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

2) <\/span>I drove back to O\u2019Hare Airport in a blizzard, unable to keep my windshield clean enough to see through. Which meant I made the entire drive, at night, with my head sticking out the driver’s side window, being lacerated by the icy snow & rain. It was nowhere as fun as it sounds.<\/p>\n

Later that month Jim Wychor<\/span> brought me to Minneapolis for my fourth engagement with the Minnesota Broadcasters Association. His annual winter convention had grown into a genuine regional event, attracting attendees from seven states. (Jim had me conduct Air Personality Plus+<\/span> on one day, How To Get Rich Through Re-Orders<\/span> on the next day.)<\/p>\n

The only glitch was beyond Jim\u2019s control. As I surveyed our meeting room an hour before our start time, I noticed some big, gaping holes in the ceiling. They were air conditioning ducts… without tubing or grates to cover them up.<\/p>\n

When the air conditioning came on, anyone within range was blasted with cold air and any papers in the area blew around the room. <\/p>\n

I called for the hotel\u2019s maintenance expert, who surveyed the situation and said, \u201cWell, it should only be a problem whenever the air conditioning comes on.\u201d <\/span>And then he turned to leave.<\/p>\n

I did not find this response to be completely satisfactory. A quick call brought in the Catering Manager, who agreed this was a less than ideal arrangement and somehow managed to find someone to fix it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
