My favorite stories of Angus are when we were in New Orleans on Wheel of Fortune and Hurricane Katrina was just off the coast.We were walking back to the hotel trying to figure out in which direction was the best way to get out of town.The State Police had made the highways a contra-flow,only going out of town.I told him I had to lie to my family that my rental car broke down so they would leave their home and come to the hotel to pick me up.He was laughing that I came up with such a crazy idea.It worked.We said our goodbye’s,I headed west on I-10 to north Louisana and Angus headed east to Orlando,We called each other twice along the way to make sure we were ok.As the years have passed,he would always ask how my family was doing,knowing that they lost everything in the storm and they are living with me in Las Vegas. Our phone calls to each other had me laughing and smiling all day
Another story that is so true of him.We were working at the Bellagio and the show had little space backstage so we moved to the stage area above the floor.I was the job steward and he was the production electrician.We set up shop with all the cable runs and dimmers by the flyrail.He had a crew running cable across stage and down to the main underneath the stage,As we were talking,the dimmer rack was rolling past our desk,the look on his face was priceless,he jumps up and tells his crew “Guy’s,When The Dimmer Rack Start’s Rolling,I Think Maybe It’s Time To Add Another Cable……..We laughed so hard,we were almost out of breath.Later that day we ate together at Snacks and talked about all the things that happen in our very unique business.
Those memories are etched in my mind forever…..God Bless You Buddy……..
Always Your Friend,
