I have many people whom I looked up to and admired over the years. My mom, my wife, rodeo athletes and many others all have and continue influencing me in positive ways. Being a broadcaster for over half my life, I will tell you about two who influenced me greatly. One I met, one I did not....David Letterman and Jim Thompson. Listen to my heartfelt experiences today on "Tales From Wild Bill's Ranch" brought to you by the book 'Ukrainians in North Dakota; In Their Voices' written by Agnes Palanuk and available at The Ukrainian Cultural Institute on Villard St. in Dickinson, ND.
