Bob Blackburn, the original radio announcer for the Seattle Supersonics passed away today. Blackburn voice could be heard on stations throughout the Northwest broadcasting what was at one time, the only local taste Washingtonians had of local major-league sports.
I remember working at KTEL which carried the Seattle Super Sonics broadcasts in Walla Walla and being on the board when the Supes won the NBA title.
I also remember meeting Blackburn years later as he was auctioneering charity golf function. Bob Blackburn was 85.
