World Vision Home Entertainment-Dave Lee

Dave Lee, the owner of World Vision Home Entertainment is a very smart man and a true gentleman.  He has built a reputation based on honesty and integrity.  When he tells you something, it’s solid.  You can take it to the bank.  He is always available to his customers anytime day or night.  I actually have him on my speed dial, 356-1000.  I would not like to own a modern television set without his number handy.  He sells all the equipment at the best price and installs everything without a single wire showing anywhere.  He even sets up a game day TV at the stadium for tailgaters that will impress all your friends. And when he sets up a home entertainment system for you  the surround sound is perfect and there will never be a glare on the screen.  It really does matter who sets it up.  I’m so thankful I know him and that he advertises on my radio show.  Every member of my family has used his services and sings his praises.  I feel so good about doing commercials for World Vision Home Entertainment.

Atlantic Coast Mortgage Group-Wayne Page

Wayne Page, the owner of Atlantic Coast Mortgage Group, has been with me for eight years and he is one of the best things that has happened to me, my wife, Jean and our daughters.  He has handled the financing or refinancing for us four times and Jean still hasn’t been able to find any hidden charges.  It’s alway a pleasant experience and you feel confidence when you close and he is sitting right there.  On the air I refer to him as “My Money Man”, and he is.  I give people his phone number, 252-LOAN,  off the air more than I do on the air and they usually end up thanking me later.  It’s easy to do commercials with Wayne page on the air.  He has such a nice voice and he’s very believable.  I thought he may cut back recently with the economy tanking but he hasn’t missed a day.  He is a real plus for my radio show and I’m glad to have a sponsor like Atlantic Coast Mortgage Group.

My Newest Caricature by Robert Ariail

If you are wondering about the caricature of me on the first page of my new website, I thought I might explain how it happened. It was drawn by one of the best cartoonist in America, Robert Ariail. I used to read The State paper every morning before my radio show. I would read it from front to back so I would be prepared for the show. In radio we call it “Prep”. I always felt uncomfortable if I missed doing it. I always knew where to find the daily Ariail cartoon. It was on the Editorial page. Some days I would turn to that page as soon as I sat down with the paper because I needed to start the day with a good laugh. I did this reading every day at the Southside Restaurant in Cayce. As soon as I saw the cartoon each day I would laugh out loud. Every body in the restaurant would say in unison, “Ariail?”. And I would see if I could explain the cartoon to the crowd.

Early this year, 2009, The State fired him during their cutbacks. I announced on the air that I would never again buy a State paper and I haven’t. I also quit eating breakfast at The Southside. I mention this on the air several times and received an email from Robert Ariail in which he said he was still in Columbia and he appreciated my comments. Then he said, “If there is anything I can ever do for you, let me know”. I wrote him back and told him that I would like a caricature. He sent it to me in a few days and every time I look at it I laugh out loud. He really captured me. You can see his work at, www.robertariail.com. He’s the best. And I am so proud to have him do me.
