Body:	<i>Hutch stories...where to begin... I remember getting Mike a job at the Baskin Robbins in downtown Tempe. We did not get paid much (I think it was actually less than a dollar an hour) but we got all the ice cream we could eat or hide in our shirts when we got off work! I remember they monitored the inventory by calculating a 'dipping percentage' so that if we were making the scoops of ice cream too large ownership would tell us to make the scoops smaller. We both ate our share of the owners profits, but Hutch was really good at telling all the girls he knew to come by when he was working for some free ice cream! Suffice it to say, when Hutch and I were working there, the dipping percentage was not good. I remember one summer night when Hutch was working and we had a Summer League basketball game at East High School. Hutch had forgotten to request he not be scheduled for work that night. So when game time came, he asked me to come by the store to pick him up. No way was he going to miss a basketball game! He simply left whoever else was working that night to cover for him until he got back from the game a couple of hours later. As we were driving back to Tempe after the game we ran into Diane Hull and some other cheerleaders coming back from a cheerleading clinic in Phoenix. The race to get back to Tempe first was on! We jostled back and forth all the way from East High School to the intersection of Curry and Mill Avenue. Hutch and I were in my dad's little red Fiat Spider convertible. As we approached the intersection I noticed the curb lane on the right was wide open. I timed the light perfectly and Hutch and I sped by the girls (and all the other cars waiting for the light to turn green) guaranteeing we would win the race. As we sped thru the intersection, Hutch stood up in the car and yelled to the girls in Diane's car. We were celebrating our shrewd move and our victory until we got to the other side of the intersection...and noticed a policeman was sitting in the intersection and had witnessed the entire episode. Our hearts went from rejoicing our victory to fearing we'd be put in jail in a nano-second! Fortunately, the policeman never came after us or if he did he didn't catch us. So now I take Hutch back to the Baskin Robbins store, figuring he would just slip back in and all would be well. But that is not what happened. The owner either came by for a surprise visit or the employees called him so he was there waiting upon Hutch to return. The store was swamped so the owner was working behind the counter, undoubtedly covering for being one employee short. Hutch walked into the store, the owner just looked at him, told him to gather his things and leave...Hutch was fired on the spot! </i> *
