If you know me real well then you are probably aware of my loyalty to local TV news anchor, Fred Cantu. And if you know that then it should come as no surprise that when my phone rang, and the caller ID read KEYE TV NEWS that, after I cried out in delight, I couldn’t pick up the phone fast enough. Sure enough, on the other end of the line was the deep, raspy voice of “Uncle Fred”.
After we exchanged greetings (his being pre-recorded) he asked me if I could do him a favor. “Of course”, I say. So he told me to press one on my phones key pad, which I eagerly did. Thanking me he said that it was time for us to begin. “Let’s do this!”, I demanded.
A click and short pause later a new voice, that of a person who was not Fred, and also a woman, came on and stated “Question One: In your scho…”. Heart broken, I immediately hung up and a single tear rolled down my left cheek.
