Last Saturday’s men’s basketball game marked the final WMCO sports broadcast of my Muskingum career. I want to thank all of the listeners who made this dream a reality, and I am honored to have been in orbit with you for the last three and a half years. I tip my hat to you, as it is now time for “Wild Bill” to ride off into the sunset.
