Feliks Banel’s guest on this SUMMER ENCORE EPISODE of CASCADE OF HISTORY is Bob Blackburn, Jr., son of legendary "Voice of the Sonics" Bob Blackburn. The elder Blackburn was born on October 14, 1924, and this special program was presented in honor of the centenary of one of the most beloved broadcasters in Pacific Northwest history. Bob, Jr. shared memories of his father, and played highlights from a treasure trove of vintage audio from his father's broadcasts of Portland Buckaroos hockey, Portland Beavers baseball, OSU football and, of course, the Seattle Supersonics (including a postgame interview from 1971 with Wilt Chamberlain).
