In a perfect world I'd have dedicated myself to one craft the way Pat has and mastered it. Maybe one day I'll reach that point. Pat serves as a shining example for all the quiet hard workers in this market who put their heads down and do their best even when the going gets tough.

Sometimes I'll keep his overtime show on while I work late at night and it keeps me going through the fatigue because if Pat can keep calls rolling in dealing with sometimes unintelligible rants into the early hours, I can keep working too.

Love those rare cases in broadcasting where work ethic and passion turn into longevity in a position that's surely difficult to hold down in the midst of cutbacks and Rogers stripping the operation down to its bare bones.
