"At least I got my money back," says Pat.Pat in Hot Air BalloonPat (see arrow) narrowly avoids air disasterPat's Publicity Stunts during the WKIX years included four hot air balloon rides, with the last one ending in a crash landing. "But I did get my champagne!" Pat says. "I also wrestled Victor the Bear, a dumb idea that lasted 30 seconds. I quarterbacked the N.C. State Freshman team and later the Alumni Teams as 'Celebrity QB'. Four plays each game and I damn nearly got killed.""The biggest fun thing at 'KIX was organizing and coaching the KIX Kagers basketball team. We played 35-40 high school faculties a year and raised over $80,000. I averaged 25 points a game and never played in high school!"Pat Patterson passed away in January, 2017.
