Easter Honesty
Happy Easter everybody.
It's time to see how you did with
yesterday's "Tell A Lie Day" challenge.
For those of you who just came in, I
wrote down 5 "facts" about myself and
challenged the readers to determine
which one was a lie.
Here are those "facts" again.
(1) I've piloted an airplane.
(2) I have a gold record.
(3) I've interviewed two Presidents
(4) I've been in a Submarine.
(5) I sang with the Lennon Sisters.
OK. Time to own up.
Let's take the airplane first.
I actually have one hour of flight
training logged as part of a story I did
with the Aircraft Owners & Pilot's
Association. And, yes, I did fly the
plane from takeoff to landing.
How about the Sub? Well, while
visiting Cleveland a couple years ago
my wife and I toured the USS COD
which is on display right next door
to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame!
All too many of you knew that
I "sang" with the Lennon Sisters
backstage at the Bloomsburg Fair in
1963 as part of a radio program I was
doing at that time. I never said I
sounded good. Just that I sang with
them!
Gold record? Me? Yep! I helped
Penndot by doing a cartoon-like voice
for a character called "Safety Sam" and
the department gave me a gold record
of my recording as a way of saying
Thanks!
Now to be honest, I did interview
two Presidents. But neither was in office
a the time. Gerald Ford was a former
President when I got to speak with him
and Barack Obama was only campaigning
for the office when he came to Scranton.
I have never interviewed a sitting
President.........yet.
Hope you passed the test, enjoyed
the holiday, and that all your NEWS is
good
