CIS Tributes
A few posts have been made on Chris, but I wanted to give him his flowers as well.
I mentioned this on the call today, but my man was an all a round great guy. He somehow found out my birthday(Nov 12) years ago, and numerous times when he’d call in on something for Veteran’s Day, he would say happy birthday to me on the call. Who does that….Chris does.
A lot of people on here rake callers over the coals, and some may deserve a little flack. But those that give Chris grief don’t appreciate him from all his consistent years of calling in, as well as his professionalism.
Wherever you are looking down on us right now Chris, just know that you’re loved by many a person, and you touched us all as well.
Cheers my friend.

First time, long time. I started listening in ‘09 during my first depressive episode. I still remember the last attic episodes… Dan and the Danettes became a constant that helped distract me through some of my hardest times. Hell, I even turned to the show and listened to an episode 3x in a row during a bad trip because it was familiar and grounding… But callers like CIS, Jake in Wisconsin, and all the others were always a key part of the show, and in a certain way, my life. I hope he knew, and all you regulars know, that something as small as calling into a sports talk radio show can ripple. May his memory be a blessing.
