Always a highlight seeing my friend Dante DeCaria, PxP voice of the Regina Pats

We both were mentored by Jerry Howarth, longtime radio voice of the Toronto Blue Jays.

Dante is an incredible multi-sport talent and an individual I respect and value as a friend.

Sunday marks the 53 anniversary of D.B. Cooper's hijacking an airliner and jumping out with the ransom money. Old D.B. was driven to take extreme measures by his anger at the Seattle Pilots moving to Milwaukee. 😁
