Mini ‘630’ tribute – pranks
.
-I was very young but I remember Dad talking about opening his office door one day and finding the room filled with chickens who shit all over his floor.
.
-Sales Manager Bill Sisak went on vacation once and while away they took his door off and sealed it over with drywall. He came back and had to go through the sales office to his room where his team had replaced his desk with a poker table.
.
-Bill had always asked for a window – as a joke – because they were in the basement. One day they cut a window in the wall between his and Dad’s office…and when he opened the blinds there was a full sized picture of Dad staring back at him.
.
-there once was a nursing school one floor above the station. Dad came back from lunch one day and found a skeleton sitting behind his desk. The dead guy had one of Dad’s pipes in his mouth.
.
-the CHED staff list, pre cell phones, had all the staff phone numbers listed but Wes Montgomery had two extras…the phone number to the Point After and Italian Gardens – where he spent much of his leisure time with Jackie Parker. Davids Restaurant, and later in life, he also enjoyed Davids and Mo’s.
.
-Wes was notorious for bringing a mickey in to the broadcast booth when he was the EE announcer at Clarke Stadium. He was warned not to…and somebody reported him…and yup. another police visit.
.
-in the mid 50’s there was a gathering of staff at our house in the Highlands. The guests were all dressed in western gear..hats, boots, etc. They also had fake guns and decided a good old fashioned shootout in the backyard might be funny…until the cops showed up.
.
-and lots of other crazy stuff that I’m sworn to secrecy about. 🙂
.
Man they had fun!
