When the Godfather of TRQ calls, you pick up.  “Why this honor?”  “What could I have done wrong?” “Do we need to move again?” were all the questions that ran through YHC’s head while knocking over small animals and children to get to the phone before it went to voicemail.

YHC stammered through some words as Goofy’s driver handed the phone to the Man.  “Yes sir?” YHC got out, voice squeaking, nervously gripping my phone.  There was a long pause and then soft spoken but resolute voice came through, “I need you to do me a favor.”  Of course the answer was yes, but YHC was already going through the mental list of things needed for the usual favors: plastic wrap, cinder blocks, horse heads, etc.  Crap! I exclaimed silently.  YHC is out of horse heads, why am I out?  How am I going to find one at this time of night?!?! Why didn’t YHC buy the extra large freezer when it was on sale!?!?

As my mind was racing, I almost missed the request, “I need you to Q TRQ for me tomorrow.  Can you do this for me?”

Letting out a huge sigh, in between tears of joy and heart palpitations, YHC replied, “Of course godfather, I can do this for you.”

No other words were spoken or needed.  As the phone went silent, YHC got to work.  Of course “work” means recycling a TRQ workout from years past, and YHC found the “perfect” one!

On 11/2/17 YHC Q’d at TRQ, which was 138 weeks after my first Q at TRQ – roughly 1/8/15.  So, to honor my Q that was 138 weeks after my first Q at TRQ, YHC decided to recycle some quality station work for the pax!

Pax seemed appreciative of the station work and felt as comfortable as you can that the godfather would approve
