Two broadcasting legends joined PPB members at Sportsmen's Lodge on Friday, June 16, to honor the man in the center: Al Michaels. Bob Miller, on the left, called hundreds of LA Kings hockey games during his 44 years with the team, and Vin Scully, on the right, was the voice of the Dodgers for 67 years!

KNBC news anchor Chuck Henry and Al Michaels began their television careers together in Honolulu. Here he tells the PPB audience about the massive waves crashing on Oahu's north shore, something he and Al decided to see first-hand. That adventure almost cost them their lives as they were swamped by a wave in the "piece of tin on four wheels" in which they were riding. (Roxanne Schorbach photo) |
