On this BONUS 'GO PACERS' EDITION of CASCADE OF HISTORY, we present complete audio from a 25th anniversary commemoration of the Seattle Supersonics' one and only 1979 NBA World Championship.

Panelists are the late John “J.J.” Johnson, a member of the championship team, plus the late ‘Voice of the Sonics’ Bob Blackburn, as well as Greg Heberlein, the retired Seattle Times sportswriter who covered the team in 1979. This commemorative event took place in the McEachern Auditorium at the old Museum of History & Industry (MOHAI) in Seattle’s Montlake neighborhood on June 1, 2004, which was the actual the 25th anniversary of the championship. The 1979 trophy was displayed on stage near the podium, and remains a part of MOHAI's collection.

The panel was part of a series produced and moderated by CASCADE OF HISTORY producer/host Feliks Banel when he was deputy director of MOHAI.

CASCADE OF HISTORY is broadcast live on SPACE 101.1 FM in Seattle and gallantly streams everywhere via www.space101fm.org most Sunday nights at 8pm Pacific Time.
