It’s good to have friends in high places.

Yesterday I was at the State  Capitol. I need to tell you a story of one of the State Senators.

Back in the mid 80′s I was a young Mayor. We had an upstart radio station that bought some fresh voices to town. I don’t even remember the names of most of those voices.  But one of those young radio announcers went on to a successful TV news career before being elected to the State Senate.

Shortly after he was elected I ran into him. He reminded me of way back when he was a young radio announcer and had to interview the local Mayor. He never forgot  how an open and accommodating I had been to him. I vaguely, very vaguely, remembered him from that time.

It just goes to show that you better be kind to everyone coming up the ladder … you never know how high they may go.

They might become a State Senator or even more.

And it is good to have friends in high places.
