My Grandfather, Smerconish, and me.

On October 3rd, 2007, my grandfather and Babe Heffron went on the Michael Smerconish show to promote their new book.  The interview was typical of one featuring my grandfather:  lively, no regard for the FCC, and a tell-it-like-it-is approach.  Smerconish loves Wild Bill and has him on the show quite a bit. 

On this particular morning, I was driving into work while listening, and I decided to call in.  I happened to have Michael’s producer’s phone number programmed into my cell, and I was able to get right through.  She graciously gave me the phone number to dial and I was immediately placed into the caller queue.  Michael put me through a few calls in, and it was a hoot to speak to him via my cell phone while driving into work.  The interview is great, and I’m posting this because my grandfather is awesome.  I’m simply another one of his admirers. 

Enjoy!
