Mike Bialka spent the last four decades covering high school sports in the Brainerd lakes area.

The retiring sports editor sat down recently to reflect on his career -- and those who've been impacted by Bialka's dedication to the craft shared some memories, too. Listen in as one of the longest-tenured sports editors in the state, a constant presence at Brainerd Warriors athletics events for multiple generations, recalls some of his favorite moments on the job.

Special thanks to all those who shared their favorite memories of the man we call "Bert" and offered him well wishes as he sails off into the sunset.
