Is there a story from your newspaper work that still sticks in your head?

In my favorite newspaper smuggling story, I was a private pilot, and, uh, I had some sources inside DEA that told me in the Turks and Caicos on the island of South Caicos, it was taken over by drug smugglers.

E- everybody there was mixed up in smuggling.

So I flew down there, and on the flight, uh, there's a radio frequency that pilots monitor when they're way out over the open ocean.

I was 600 miles from Fort Lauderdale to South Caicos, so there's a lot of open water.

And this guy gets on the radio and just starts saying, "Somebody please talk to me, talk to me, talk to me." I thought, "Who taught this guy radio procedure? What's he doing?" And finally I said, uh, identified myself and airplane number, and he said, "I, I'm on a plane with three, three passengers.

They're all passed out.

In all of the time that you spent with Bud and Dorie Day, were there things that you observed about their marriage that stuck with you?
