Met Mr. Dillistone during my brief stay in Brandon while working for CKX Radio. It was at that time I had a marvelous time assisting him with several Dale Carnegie courses. This adventure has had me bragging about his great stories and wonderful way he engaged people in this course, ones that have stayed with me personally for over 40 years. My memories are fond, my emotions are of sadness yet knowing the memories we will have continue to be fond ones. My prayers are with the family. - Posted by: Ron Owen (Past Assistant Instructor (Dale Carnegie) ) on: Sep 17, 2016
