Thanks Donna,

I agree. It would be great to have an archive of sports audio, and video,
for that matter.

In looking around, I've seen Eddie quoted as saying there are no archives,
and Phil Sirkin, who I think was the first producer of the Sports Huddle,
also tells me he doesn't know of any. (Phil, who was my editor at WHDH, is
here in Indiana now, about 15 minutes away from me. Small world.)

I don't have a lot of recordings. It was kind of a lark for me at the time
and I wish I had more.

Thanks,
Pam
