Here's another story I found "lost" on 3/4" tape ... and fun.
Shot sometime in 1974-1975, Bill Walton, the star center of the Portland Trailblazers, had just suffered a season-ending foot injury. The national media was clammering for an interview .. on a Saturday morning.
I got the call from home. Sport Director Ted Dawson had scored an exclusive interview and wanted me to shoot it. Apparently Walton trusted Ted and I to do a fair story.
We went to his home on the Willamette river south of Portland. I remember it because the custom house had been built to Bill Walton scale and I felt so small. I remember his beautiful German Shephards which you see in the film.
We got back to the station before noon. I had maybe 20 minutes to edit the piece when the film was developed. We microwaved it to CBS Sports which ran the piece over and over again all day and night.
