I can't for the life of me remember his name. I did have an exchange with him, I recall, on his too frequent use of "Ohio U." Anyone help me with a memory refresh?

This guy was in his 20s or early 30s in the time period mentioned. He's probably still a broadcaster somewhere. If memory serves, and it's not too good on this chap, he may have gone somewhere out in the West when he left Cowtown. Thanks for the try, though.

Jim Crum was a big Bobcat fan and a good friend of Bill Hess, and spoke at the Green and White Club Banquet a couple times.

He's the only sports guy listed. He's now with KRON in SF: http://kron4.com/2015/03/06/the-world-according-to-gary-111/ We will get by. We will get by. We will get by. We will survive.

I looked at his 30 year anniversary clips on the link you supplied and they were very interesting. This must mean that he left BNS in 1985.
