I was struck by his voice from my first night in the Woodward's QB club.

It was Bill Surphilis for a while at old Empire. Someone found that and I thought that person posted it on this thread - but it must have been posted elsewhere. Surphlis was an original BC Lion director and PA announcer but I'm not sure nor was the person who found the name sure of the years.TheLionKing wrote: ↑Fri Sep 16, 2022 1:04 pmTheLionKing wrote: ↑Fri Sep 16, 2022 1:03 pmDug out my 1968 game magazine.
