When I was working nights at 99X, I used to make fun of Steve Craig quite often. He was an easy target, with excessive banter about the Tiki bar in his backyard, his plane and his battle with gout. Okay, so maybe he didn’t have the gout, but that false story only followed suit. I used to make up fables about Steve fighting forest fires with his plane, saving countless Whitetail deer and wild rabbits with his efforts, and then retreating home to have a nice tropical drink out of a coconut shell.  More
