+{{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!!!   }}

 {{cquote|Forty years ago as a teenager in the wilds of remote Wyoming my sweetheart (now my wife of forty years) and I played a travel game called "padiddle", based on counting vehicles with one headlight burned out. The first person to see one shouted PADIDDLE and banged on the ceiling of the car, earning a kiss from the other person.  I saw two of them last night, regrettably while travelling alone.  With fond memories, I wondered how widespread and well-known this game had become since the Sixties, and decided to check it out when I got home.  Imagine my surprise when I googled "padiddle" and immediately got a hit on a Wikipedia article! Wikipedia truly is a place to find out about ANYTHING.  We only played the kissing version (Ahem!) but the article informed me of two other versions, one very naughty, of which we were unaware. So Wikipedia perfectly fulfilled its role by increasing my knowledge.  My only regret is that I can't contribute anything in the way of origins or references -- we're both too old to remember where we learned it!}}
