Jim McKay Was A Mentor.


The death of ABC's Jim McKay saddens me greatly! When I graduated from the University of Maryland College of Journalism in 1973 Jim was my hero.  When Roone Arledge hired me at ABC Sports for the olympics and college football, Jim was an inspiration and guide to me. His genuine enthusiasm was my goal. His kindness to me at ABC will never be forgotten. My thoughts and prayers go to the entire family.
