Cleaning!

The other day my wife and I sorted through a box of random CDs in our apartment. Mixed in there, in a small group, was the audio from the Practice in Radio project that got this whole operation running back in 2007! While I'm going to be a bit busy handling baby-related things in the coming weeks, I will be bringing you guys some samplings--in text form at least--of those sessions.

Thanks Ernie

Ernie Salvatore has died at 87; when I was in the radio portion of this project he was a great help and a great deal of fun to talk with about items both past and present. One of my bigger regrets in this work is that I never got more chances to seek his input... he will be sorely missed throughout the Tri-State, in sports, media, and beyond.

Of course Ernie knows best in these situations

Ernie Salvatore, longtime Huntington sportswriter, on the Blizzard's management turmoil, 7 June 1995:

This really is what's at stake here. Credibility. Honesty. Honor. Whatever. The Huntington Blizzard franchise... has retrogressed badly in these areas the past two months. Getting them back, once the fighting stops, won't be easy.
