When I was pulling afternoon drive at CFCN,"Happer"'s participation from the traffic chopper made us sound like we were working in The Bigs. During my tenure, "Frap" (Heeman) augered in at least twice just during our shifts, that I remember. He also went right back up - apparently a proclivity of former stunt-car drivers. A hard life but a good guy nevertheless. We were pals.
Hap also taught Jan and I - a couple of forlorn, greenhorn easterners - to ski and "turn 'em both ways". He was a magician in the powder.
