"Sports and Sportcasting" Kevin Harlan, Sports Broadcaster

Kevin Harlan is well known to Kansas City sports fans as a radio and TV announcer. As the son of former Green Bay Packers executive Bob Harlan, Kevin grew up with the Packers. As a youngster, he was drawn to sports broadcasting and created imaginary play-by-play Packers games in the broadcasting booth at Lambeau Field. By the time he was a sophomore in high school, he was broadcasting his school’s sporting events. A tape of a high school hockey game got him noticed and began the chain of events that landed him in Kansas. KU alum Gary Bender, the CBS

broadcaster who did Packers games, heard the tape and told Kevin's dad that Kevin should go to Kansas and learn under Tom Hedrick a veteran broadcaster and KU journalism professor. Kevin nervously called Hedrick to arrange a visit to Lawrence in January 1978. "Just soaking in Allen Fieldhouse, seeing this beautiful campus, I was completely taken," Tom Hedrick gave Kevin the opportunity to fill in on his local sports radio show. As a freshman, Kevin would fill in for Hedrick on his radio show whenever Hedrick was out of town. By the time he was a junior, the Kansas City Chiefs hired him to produce the radio pre-game show. Kevin did broadcasting every Thursday through Sunday which left him little time for normal KU college life. He currently broadcasts NFL and college basketball games on CBS and does play-by-play for the NBA on TNT. Until 2008, Kevin was the voice of Westwood One Radio's Final Four coverage, which is heard on hundreds of radio stations nationwide. In 2009, he began serving as a secondary announcer for Westwood One's Monday Night Football

President Ford Nelson opened the meeting, thanked the greeters and asked Jerry Munson to lead the singing while Carl Bolte accompanied in a timely rendition of "God Bless America". Don Giffin gave the invocation and Tom Martin welcomed our guests plus a visiting Rotarian from the Eastern Clay County/Liberty club. It was truly great to see Karl Roscoe here and looking good. Now to get Don Patterson out of ICU and into recovery at Research Hospital, and hear news of good recoveries from Tom Davidson and Lindsay Ripley!

Ford leaked the news that Judge Duane Benton has the fate of the NFL in his hands... No pressure there. Gene Freeman pitched the Entertainment Committee's May 19th showing of "Gypsy" with dining at Streetcar Named Desire before the performance. Then Rick Halterman brought our newest Colonel member to the podium for a fine introduction and welcome back to KC. Howard Mick and the Education Excellence Committee took over - presenting a full program featuring eight outstanding students and one faculty "stand-in" from high schools across the city. Their honors and awards were richly deserved. Congratulations! Howard returned to the podium to introduce our speaker, Airick West the President of the KC School Board who did a superb job standing in when Dr. Covington was forced to miss due to family illness. Airick delivered a refreshing talk on changes in public education. He conveyed a sense that KC schools have emerged over the past two years to take the high road to excellence in education.
