I keep in close contact with about 5 OMB entertainers in my area, and while most are pretty busy, when one of us gets sick there is usually one of us that can fill in so the jobs are not lost altogether. I was supposed to have the day off, but about 11 a.m. a fellow entertainer's wife called and said he was having chest pains and was on his way the doctor. I was the first person she contacted, everything went smooth as silk, he's home taking it easy, and I made a few dollars today instead of sitting around the house.

If I really get sick, I'm gonna' call Don Mason, send him a plane ticket and put him to work. Susan will be glad to get rid of him, Carol will be glad to see him, and everyone other than the folks at Earnest's will be happier.

Cheers,

Gary
