A bunch of things meaning very little, but I am going to add them here because a few more bits of flotsam and jetsam on the internet sea that is already filled with so much crap, makes no difference.
The greatest promoter of all time. Incidentally, he never said, "There's a sucker born every minute." It was coined by a competitor who attributed it to him. I have an autographed photo of him in my office.

THE SURVIVORS...That's the name of the group of over 100 Phoenix advertising and media execs who get together once a year to talk about "the good old days." Mostly folks like myself who were active in the 50's, 60's, 70's, and later. It's really a lot of fun. Pictured left from the 2002 group...L-R standing: Ed Bradford, Lloyd Melton, Me, Jack Clifford. Seated: Ira Lavin. Ed and I worked together selling time at KTAR-TV. He became a minister and is now in the executive office of the Assembly of God. Lloyd and I sold time at KRUX Radio and drank a lot of beer. He now owns restaurants. Jack was my boss at KTAR-TV and became a national media mogul in the cable industry. He's now retired. Ira, former General Manager of the Phoenix station that Dick Van Dyke owned, KXIV, I am sad to report passed away last year.
