A LIFE CHANGING CALL

Frankie Calumbo was roommates with Max Luftspring for three years in University. They met as Freshman and shared a room together in residence.

He had been dating a girl named Margaux and she accepted his invitation to go to the Wedding with him.

Frankie and Max kept in touch on a regular basis and Frankie called one day to ask Max his opinion. A station in Los Angeles offered him a job to be their Investigative Reporter.
