"Bill got a job as a gate agent at Piedmont Airlines. I figured I'd get a job at Arby's or something," remarks Pitts.

Instead, Pitts got a call from his former employer, offering him his old job back because his replacement had not worked out. "I think they figured we wouldn't make it, so why lose a pressman over it? They thought I'd learn my lesson and come back," says Pitts, adding, "We are still great friends with that company today."
