The worst?  Doing the Chester Fair down in Connecticut when I was at WLIS.  The
weather was always bad (I did this fair three years in a row.) The Marti shot
always failed, no matter how much we tested it beforehand.  The station would
not purchase decent remote equipment, so we always looked like crap, and all the
interviews were with three-toothed imbred goobers.  Truly a nightmare.....Mike
