+{{cquote|It started, as most things in my life start—over a game of chess. I’ve never been very good at chess, the pawns, the queens, who can keep any of that straight? My friend, Donnie, was taking forever to make the next move, so I started browsing the internet. I happened upon this wiki article that was pretty damn funny, unbelievably funny.  So I said to my friend, “Damn. This is pretty damn funny. Unbelievably funny.” My friend said, “Come on you know you can’t believe everything you read online. And wiki? That’s not even legit.” I was disappointed by my friend’s opinion, yet he continued blabbing. “If you really want to read a good story you got to go to the library. Crack open a book. Some heart wrenching stuff in books.”
+I thought for a moment. It was a long moment. Pointlessly shamelessly long, but to be honest he really wasn’t making a move. I kept staring at the screen. He was right, there were a few problems with the article. For example, the sources weren’t cited properly. And that kinda irked me because I loved what wiki was doing. I thought it was an excellent tool to access free information. And I knew. I wanted to help make wiki better. One page at a time. One day at a time.
+To me, wiki is an opportunity to make the world better. Something that I am proud to stand behind.  }}

 {{cquote|I have been in Radio for 34 years, I have won over 66 awards, in credit for serving the communities that my radio signals cover and filling their needs on all levels. Until 1999 I ran a total of 11 stations, since I run 4 land based and 6 internet. I am a cutting edge person, I hold many copy writes for the type of advertising we have designed using the best of all worlds. Internet, Radio, and dry. It is called Mirror Marketing, and @ as well as trademarked to my own company "Global Radio and Asset Management " I have been written up in the greatest read ever B R E Mag. with a 6 pg. spread on my devotion to small market radio and helping inner city kids reach their dreams. I have worked on many B O D's and panels including AWART, FAB, APAHC, ACDAA, Who's who, Who's who in America and lastly Who's who in Radio and Television, GAB, Angle number one of the syndicated radio show, the
 Iron Angles" as well as host of the also syndicated radio talk show " Through the eyes of your dog " International adoption league, Woman in Arts, and so on. Today I am fighting my 7th battle brought by a brother and a sister since 1983 when at just 21 years old my dad named me the head of Dee Rivers Radio Something that has never set well with two out of 5 siblings. The best thing I can tell  you is that every day when I talk to a listener and they tell me how much they love one of our stations, or I am working with one of our long term employees almost all have been working with me for over 14 years, then any of the grief brought on by their lies and the hassles of years of this kind of thing, makes it all worth while!!!   }}
