A tribute to Gary Slaight. Yes the guy that fired me.

The first time I worked for Gary was 1989 in Montreal, he hired me again in 1991 and then again in 2003. I've no doubt that if he still had Radio stations he'd hire me again.
Oh yeah he also fired me a couple of years ago but I still like him.

He's a smart smart guy, a sharp broadcaster and a unique individual. By unique I also mean very bizarre at times and not everyone digs him.
I always did and firing aside, I have had a pretty good relationship with him for a long time.
Even after he gassed me we continued to have lunch every so often and talk on the phone.
He always has some good advice and insight. Hey, as my buddy Lou says, there's nothing wrong with having a Billionaire return your calls.

Tonight I'm going to an exclusive tribute dinner and when the invitation came I said yes right away.
I figure he could pack the place with just people that he's fired and hired back.
Who knows maybe he'll give me a job as his personal pilot.
Or butler. Or butler/pilot/funny-Hebrew guy.
