Thee Wire Whisperer Coiffure GEORGE TAKEI, THANK YOU, UNFORTUNATELY I COULD NOT CALL MY FRIEND ON THE PHONE, BECAUSE HE IS IN HEAVEN, BUT i STILL WROTE TO HIM ANYWAY, i THANKED HIM FOR TAKING THE TIME TO CALL ME, EVEN THOUGH HE ACTUALLY WAS BUSY WITH ENDING THE COLD WAR. HE ASKED ME WHAT HE COULD DO FOR ME, THAT HE WANTED TO TALK TO MY CHAD, OF WHOM WAS ALREADY ASLEEP, BUT WE PUT THE PHONE UP TO CHADS EAR SO HE COULD TELL CHAD THAT HE WAS GOING TO MAKE EVERYTHING BE ALRIGHT, AND HE WAS GOING TO SET ME UP WITH HIS SPECIAL FRIEND WHO IS GOING TO MAKE ANYTHING THAT CHAD NEEDED , HE WAS GOING TO MAKE IT HAPPEN. NOW GEORGE, MY SON WAS DIEING OF A TERMINAL LIVER DISEASE, AND UNFORTUNATELY, MY SONS HEALTHCARE WAS BEING MADE IMPOSSIBLE TO GET TREATMENT FOR, AND MY SON WAS NOT GOING TO LIVE WITH THE LACK OF ACCESS TO OUR HEALTH INSURANCE,BECAUSE HE HAD BEEN STUCK IN THE MI9DDLE OF A GLITCH THAT MADE EVERYONE DENY SERVICE TO HIM. CHAD WAS 4 AT THAT TIME AND ALREADY A LIVING MIRACLE AS STATISTICS SAID HE WOULD NOT LIVE PAST TWO YEARS OLD. WELL MY FRIEND TOLD ME, FIRST OF ALL, THAT HE HAD PEOPLE IN HIGH PLACES THAT COULD MAKE ANYTHING HAPPEN IF WE REALLY WANTED IT TO HAPPEN. I TOLD HIM I HAD JESUS ON SPEED DIAL, AND MY FRIEND SAID, THAT IS VERY GOOD, THAT HE TOO HAD JESUS ON SPEED DIAL. SO WE CHATTED SOME MORE AND THEN HE SAID, PAM, DO YOU HAVE A PEN AND PAPER HANDY, AND I SAID HOLD ON, SO HE SAID OK, I WILL BE HERE WHEN YOU GET THAT, I LOOKED AT THE HOUSE OF WHICH I HAD EVERYTHING IN A PILE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FLOOR.WELL, PANIC SET IN WHEN I COULD NOT FIND A PEN, JUST BEFORE I BECAME FRANTIC, THERE WAS A CRAYON, AND CHADS COLORING BOOK, SO OUT OF BREATH, I RAN BACK TO THE PHONE PICKED AND SAID , I AM SO SORRY , I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF CLEANING AND EVERYTHING WAS IN A PILE ON THE FLOOR. WELL MY FRIEND SAID,SO I SEE YOU REALLY LOVE HORSES, AND WE CHATTED ABOUT MY LIFE WITH MY DAD WHO MY FRIEND REMINDED ME OF AND HOW MY DAD INSTILLED HORSES INTO MY HEART, AND THAT I JUST LOVED MY FRIENDS HORSE. SO WE WRAPPED UP OUR CONVERSATION ON HORSES, AND MY FRIEND SAID,NOW PAM, I WANT YOU TO WRITE DOWN THIS NAME. HOK , PAE SAID THIS WAS HIS RIGHT HAND MAN AND HE WILL BE AVAILABLE TO ME ANYTIME OF THE DAY OR NIGHT. SO HE GAVE THE MANS NAME, IT WAS DR.WILLIAM MAYER. MY FRIEND SAID WILLIAM WILL MAKE ANYTHING HAPPEN NO MATTER WHAT, AND THAT HE WOULD BE CALLING ME IN THE NEXT DAY OR MAYBE 2, BUT IF I DID NOT HEAR FROM TO CALL HIS SECRETARY, WHOSE NAME WAS MARY, AND SHE WILL HAVE HIM CALL ASAP. NO, I DID NOT HAVE TO CALL WILLIAM HE WAS RINGING MY PHONE EARLY THE NEXT MORNING. AFTER THE PHONE RANG IT WAS MARY ON THE LINE FIRST, AND SHE POLITELY INTRODUCED HERSELF AND SAID THAT SHE HAD MADE SEVERAL COPIES OF A PHOTO AS EVERYONE WANTED A PICTURE OF MY MIRACLE SON ON THEIR DESK. SO THEN SHE SAID OK PAM, NOW HOLD FOR THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE FOR HEALTH AFFAIRS, AND DR. MAYER SAID, HELLO PAM. HE SAID YOU SURE HAVE MADE QUITE THE IMPRESSION ON OUR MUTUAL FRIEND RONALD, AND I HAD TO AGREE AND TOLD DR MAYER WHETHER I SHOULD BE SITTING OR STANDING AT ATTENTION. WE GIGGLED AND CONTINUED TO CHAT ABOUT TROUBLES I WAS HAVING WITH THE COMMANDER OF THE NAVAL BASE WE WERE STATIONED AT, AS THERE SEEMED TO BE SOME TESTOSTERONE CLASHING BETWEEN HIM AND THE HEAD OF THE HOSPITAL, AND THAT WE NEEDED TO HAVE MY SON FLOWN TO DENVER, COLORADO, AND THOSE 2 POWER HUNGRY CHUMPS WERE CAUSING MY SON TO LACK TREATMENT, AND THAT THE HEAD OF MY HUSBANDS SQUADRON WAS GOING TO STEAL A PLANE AND FLY CHAD HIMSELF, AND DR MAYER SAID, GIVE ME ALL INFO, NAMES RANKS SERIAL NUMBERS, ETC AND HE SAID I WILL CALL YOU TOMORROW, AND WE HUNG UP. THAT WAS ABOUT 4 PM THAT DAY.WELL, 15 MINS. LATER MY HUBBY CALLED AND SAID, WHO HAVE I BEEN TALKING TO. I SAID WHY? HE SAID HIS COMMANDER WANTED TO SEE HIM. I HAD NO IDEA.TURNS OUT, I HAD TO PACK FOR ALL OF US TO GO TO DENVER, THAT IT TURNED OUT THAT WE WERE HEADING TO DENVER, ALL EXPENSES PAID, AND THAT WAS THAT. SO, WE WERE HEADING TO DENVER AND GOT ALL SETTLED INTO OUR TEMPORARY LIVING QUARTERS, AND THE PHONE RANG, AND THIS VOICE ON THE PHONE SAID: PLEASE HOLD FOR THE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT. AND MY FRIEND RONALD SAID, SO HOW ARE THINGS GOING IN DENVER, AND OF COURSE I HAD TO TELL HIM HOW GRATEFUL FOR THE HELP WE RECEIVED FROM HIS RIGHT HAND MAN, DR MAYER, AND RON SAID, I JUST PUT YOUR SONS PHOTO IN A FRAME, AND WANTED TO TELL ME THAT EVERYONE AT THE PENTAGON HAD CHADS PHOTO ON THEIR DESKS AND EVERYONE OF THEM HAD SPEED DIAL DIRECTLY TO JESUS. HE SAID , KEEP ME POSTED ON HIS PROGRESS, AND WE SURE DID. DR MAYER AND MARY BECAME VERY CLOSE WITH MY FAMILY TO THE POINT THAT EVERY TIME MY SON HAD TO GO TO THE DOCTORS ON THE BASE, WE WOULD WALK UP TO THE DESK AND WE WOULD SEE THE PERSON PEERING UNDER THE DESK OBVIOUSLY OF A PICTURE OF MY SON AND MYSELF, AND THESE PEOPLE WOULD JUMP AT ATTENTION, AND TAKE US RIGHT BACK TO THE EXAMINING ROOM. BUT WHEN I SAT ONE DAY WATCHING MY DEAR FRIEND RONALD SAYING MR GORBACHEV, TEAR DOWN THIS WALL, I SAT THERE AND SHOOK MY HEAD BACK AND FORTH AND TEARS CAME RUNNING DOWN MY FACE, AS I SAID, IN THE MIDST OF MY FRIEND WHO WAS ENDING THE COLD WAR, HE HAD TIME TO FIRST OF ALL, READ MY LETTER, THEN TO CALL MY HOME, AND PERSONALLY TALK TO ME AND MY SON, OF WHOM IS NOW, 33 YEARS OF AGE, AND DEFINITELY HAD SPEED DIAL TO JESUS BY MANY ON CAPITAL HILL,THE WHITE HOUSE, THE PENTAGON!!! OH, BY THE WAY,THAT FRIEND i AM SPEAKING OF THAT I WAS SITTING IN TEARS, AND SHAKING MY HEAD BACK AND FORTH,IN 1987,WAS, MY BEST FRIEND EVER IN OUR WHITE HOUSE, OF WHOM I RESPECT MORE AND MORE EVERY DAY THAT GOES ON, THANK YOU MY DEAR FRIEND, YOU REALLY KNEW HOW TO RUN THIS COUNTRY, MY FRIEND, PRESIDENT RONALD REAGAN
