It was like enjoying the horror with an understanding friend. My least-favorite was trying to extract something interesting -- anything interesting -- from him for a radio-TV column I was writing about on the 20-year anniversary of his lone year as the FSU football radio play-by-play man. That year would be 1973, when FSU went 0-11. I can understand his reticence now. Thanks for the memories, Skip.
