Another door opened, I did the Washington Bullets and the U.S. Naval Academy. I've been very fortunate in my career. |
I can remember the fans going over the scorer's table onto the court. The Calumet Region was just great in sports and Gary was a great place. |
I have always been fortunate that when one door closed, another one opened up for me. |
This area was great for locution because you had a lot of Hispanics, Serbs, Croatians, Poles, people of Slavic descent. If you left there and couldn't pronounce a name, then you had to be a dummy. It was just a great place to hone your skills. |
Where else could you do that much basketball? The great football rivalries plus we also did some south county games, Crown Point, Merrillville and also Valparaiso. |
