I was sorry to learn earlier tonight of the passing of Dandy Don Meredith in Sante Fe earlier today. Although a terrific quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys, he was best known for his years in the booth of Monday Night Football with Frank Gifford and Mr Obnoxious of Professional Football, Howard Cossel.

 Back in my broadcasting days almost a half century ago, I spent part of one summer at the Fellowship of Christian Athletes Camp in North Carolina and had the pleasure of not only meeting Don, but also interviewing him for my radio show in Logan, WV. He was a really down to earth gentleman and quite entertaining with his stories of professional football and the antics of Cossel. As a young journalist, I was star struck being around the professional atheletes, coaches and entertainers that were envolved with that camp. But with his quick wit and marvelous sense of humor,  Don was my favorite. 

May he Rest In Peace.

Three basketball games at Liberty this week, and all three were terrible. Even with the funnel cakes and fried oreos, the volume still is below par and has me looking for other opportunities for the next couple of months. So far, this week all I have is a triple header on Saturday at Liberty--two high school games and a mens game Saturday night. Hopefully, there will be some good news to report next week.
