Much news on Facebook recently, (past day or two), thanks to Lyn Shaw, including broadcasting high school football, locally … many volunteers in the local pressbox, along with the local WBLA-WGQR broadcast team … Had some questions about how long we broadcast local area football games … Not sure … began in mid to late ’60s on WBLA … taping and replaying on Saturday mornings. Remember lugging heavy Ampex tape recorders to a small press box, climbing up a wobbly old ladder … at old Elizabethtown High School, and similar situations at other local high schools … Later, with FM assistance, began broadcasting area games live, including a couple of state championships … a basketball game from NC State campus and a state championship football game from UNC-Chapel Hill … Had great assistance from numerous local volunteers … thru the early to mid 2010 time frame, maybe later … Never made much money, but had a great time … Thanks for the ‘Thoughts’…

Years ago, our family of sharecroppers would enjoy a day of fishing, many times, this time of year, in places most likely shared with all types of wild game … including snakes … It was fun … but never without thinking of what is nearby?
