Last week, I wrote about the strange experience of hearing my late Dad’s voice while flying home from a client visit.
He told me that he was very happy and wanted me to work on my own happiness.

As I said, it was a bizarre moment, but not the only one; something similar had happened twice before.
The first unexplainable event happened when I was the Program Director of CFRA in Ottawa, where my wife Lana and I decided to adopt a baby boy.

After doing all the paperwork, there was nothing left to do but wait, so while doing so, we decided to take a short vacation and visit our friends, the Hilliards, in Indianapolis.
While in Indy, we went to a new restaurant Barbara Hilliard was very excited about because, as she said, “They have a Sand Reader.”  

Sure enough, right after we finished dinner, a guy carrying a tray of sand showed up and told Lana to use her finger to sign her name in the sand. when she did so, he looked at her confused
Then he said, “Hey, I’m just the messenger here and only say what I see in the sand, and as ridiculous as this sounds, what I see is you becoming a brand new mother in the next few days.”

Sure enough, when we returned to Ottawa, we discovered that the adoption agency had been trying to get ahold of us for a few days.
They wanted us to come and pick up our brand new three-month-old son, Curtis Allen Johns.

The second strange event of this kind happened many years later at the State Fair in San Diego.
I was there with Jamie Gold, and when she spotted the tent of a Tarot Card Reader, she said that we should have our palms read.

I can’t remember what the Pysic told Jamie, but I sure remember what she told me.
“Ahh,” she said, “It looks like there’s a baby daughter in your future, but it won’t be happening for another decade.”

When I looked at Jamie, she said, “Don’t look at me; I’m never having any kids.”
I never thought anything more about it until ten years later when the beautiful Camera Anne Johns Summerfield was born.

COMMENTS

W.T.: George, one thing I always admired about your stations is that you never put slogans on the air about what kind of station it was or what kind of music it played. Listeners were trusted to figure out what it was, and if they liked it, nothing else mattered. After all, a lot of people might say, “I like rock,” or “I like country music,” but nobody ever said, “I like Adult Contemporary music.” (Evergreens)
Radio Geo: I think the reason we never used slogans, W.T., may have been because we didn’t know what the hell it was either. Oh, and you’re absolutely right about AC because there’s no such thing. No Artist ever went into the studio to cut an AC record.

Jennifer Randal: Geo, I love your Grandfatherly advice, right on.  I told my younger son that he didn’t have to get married as all his friends were doing. He actually listened! He tied the knot at 35. (The Secret of Life)
Geo: JJ, not only does he have a good-lookin’ mama bear, he has a very wise one.
