September, 1996 <\/strong>(continued):<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of the most memorable moments of this New Zealand seminar trip occurred during the second day of Air Personality Plus+<\/em> seminars<\/a> for David Brice<\/strong><\/span> and Radio New Zealand. The first was in Christchurch; the second was the following day in Auckland.<\/p>\n

The NZ rugby team, the All Blacks (named for their all-black team uniform), had just won a test match series against their arch rivals from South Africa, and they were feted with a huge outdoor celebration immediately outside the Carlton Hotel (where our seminar was held).<\/p>\n

That evening I flew to Hamilton for a return engagement with The Radio Works (thanks to Steven Joyce<\/strong><\/span> and Kate Rigg<\/strong><\/span>). <\/a><\/p>\n

Last week<\/a> I described the huge suite I had been ensconced in at the Carlton Hotel in Auckland. I mention this again only to describe how small the 15-seater airplane that brought me to Hamilton was: It was smaller than the suite’s living room. (Seriously.)<\/p>\n

I was especially happy to return to Hamilton, because that was the first New Zealand city I ever visited…during my maiden Kiwi visit a year earlier. Of course, I didn’t have time for much reminiscing there, because when the seminar ended I headed directly back to Auckland. Darryl Paton<\/strong><\/span> found himself “volunteered” to drive me there.<\/p>\n

The following day was spent with the on-air staffs of Median, in another return visit arranged by Guy Needham<\/strong><\/span> and Mike Regal<\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n

And then it was off to the airport to fly to Taupo for the Radio Broadcasting Association’s annual convention. (Actually, this, too, was a return engagement. On my first trip to New Zealand I had previously met only one of the Kiwis I’d be working with, Steven Joyce. On this trip, however, most of the time I felt like I was with old friends.)<\/p>\n

At the convention \u2014 once again quite well produced by Janine Bliss<\/span> <\/strong>and Brent Impey<\/strong><\/span> \u2014 I presented How To Create Maximum Impact Radio Advertising<\/em> and also moderated a no-holds-barred “debate” between male & female broadcasters at the RBA banquet.<\/p>\n

The day after the convention ended, Janine allowed me to hitch a ride with her on the 5-hour drive back to Auckland (from where I would fly home to Los Angeles).<\/p>\n

Periodically along the side of the highway I noticed small, white crosses. Janine explained that these marked the spots where people had been killed in driving accidents; the crosses were placed there by the loved ones of the deceased.<\/p>\n

Seeing all of those crosses was both touching and, in view of their number, very sad.<\/p>\n

Janine dropped me off at the airport, I checked in for the flight, and settled in at the United Airlines lounge at 2:47PM; I wouldn’t board the flight until 5:00. But I was quite happy because a boxing match was scheduled for 3:00 \u2014 Mike Tyson<\/strong> vs. Bruce Seldon<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

There was one television set in the lounge, stuck in a little corridor on the side. I went directly to it, found the right channel, and commandeered it before anyone else could lay claim to it.<\/p>\n

Being rather tired at the end of a very full week of seminars, I couldn’t think of a better way to pass the time than to watch the fight.<\/p>\n

(If you’re a boxing fan, it’s obvious to you that I didn’t know at the time how lame the match would be.)<\/p>\n

There were four preliminary bouts, however…And my flight was called just before the main event began.<\/p>\n

Oh, well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
