Mark Button Caller-Times Gunslingers need bullets. Dentists need drills. Businessmen like Corpus Christi's Rick Dames, owner of four local radio stations and two Texas minor-league hockey league teams, need clients, cellular phones and convincing stories to sell the buying public an idea, splashed with the charm to pull it off. Ears to hear the pitch. He has the eyes, the ears, the clients and the business deals covered.
