[NFBMT] NPR segment about Paul doing the play-by-play

[ecrobbins517 at gmail.com]

George et al,
	Thanks for this.  When I first lost my sight, one of our boys was on
the BB Team at Simms and we would go to the games and Anna would do a play
by play for me.  She wasn't polished and probably did somewhat as your wife
did.  When the play intensified, she would fall into a "ooo ooo ooo" mode,
but we got back into a good mode pretty quick.  Several of the folks seated
around us made the comment that they appreciated Anna for her play by play,
probably as much as I did.
Ted Robbins,

Dear Montana NFB,

 

On our call yesterday, I mention the late retired sports announcer Paul
Radar who went to the Hellgate girls' basketball games as my personal
announcer. William Markus did the piece that aired on NPR in 1996, when Zoey
was a senior.

 

Here is the link to the seven-minute mp3. It should just start playing in
your default MP3 player. You might want to turn up the volume a bit.

It would be wonderful to find others who could help us out at events, like a
daughter's dance recital. I go to my grandchildren's soccer games, and it is
quite boring. When I go to Emerson's games, Zoey does the play-by-play, and
she is pretty good, but nothing like Paul, God rest his soul.

 

I do not link to this from my home page, because it is copyrighted by NPR.
If The link does not work, I can try attaching the file in a private email.

Best

George
