Radio Landmark at wanted the other to do something, the other would think of a dozen reasons why he shouldn't. Sometimes their stubborn rivalry worked to the detriment of the station—like the time we moved studio and offices to the Brace Block on and the transmitter out to the new plant at West Royalty . Art had planned the move from Great to a "T". He was determined not to lose one minute of air time. Dad had recently purchased a new Gage amplifier and had it delivered and installed in the awaiting new studio. We had a small portable console over which Les Peppin did announcements and played record after record while Art had the rest of the equipment delivered and set up piecemeal. The plan was to move the console immediately after the station signed off the air at midnight. All during this the fur flew between John Quincy and Art, but Art got his way until it came time to move the transmitter out to its new building at West Royalty . When that time came, the "Chief Engineer" hotly maintained he could and would handle the transmitter transference without a hitch. "It is my responsibility as Chief Engineer, Art," he proclaimed, "so you keep you nose out of it and make sure the programs are on schedule." "But if you foul it up, Jack, I won't be able to keep to any schedule, and that's what's worrying me. I don't want one second of air time lost on this station," Art needled back. "Damit, McDonald, you just watch me!" With that John Quincy grabbed a pair of pliers and with great osten¬ tation, he randomly snipped transmitter wires left, right, and centre. His burst of bad temper over, it took him hours to figure which wire belonged to which; and as a result, CFCY .vas off the air for three full days. Art was furious, with perhaps just a bit of perverse delight at the same time. But I do not wish to give the impression that Jack Adams was an incompetent dunderhead, or that this is how Art saw him. Even though Art was mad at him most of the time, he had a grudging respect for his technical ability, and when credit was due, he gave it, like the time during the Mine Disaster. Here is what Art wrote about John Quincy Adams ' work: 89
