I helped with play by play for basketball with the incomparable Ed Nyce and did an occasional shift playing records (and the very first CDs) in the evening. Later as Sports Information Director, I created a weekly sports show where I interviewed coaches and players.

Important memories included interviewing local NBA star Ralph Sampson and calling lots of games from the old gym. I also remember having some longer songs that could be used when you had to run next door to the Discipleship Center to use the bathroom in the middle of a shift!
