    Ron Zetcher, What did we learn?

    We talk about the hall of fames he is a member of.  Norm Stewart stories.  Norm  stories, did I mention Norm stories.  With some great Bill Tubbs stuff thrown in.  Yesssss…  we do talk about the UCLA game.

    Graduated from UCity, just re-retired from teaching in Ladue.  He was adopted on day one, embraced it, embraced challenges, embraced life.  This one snuck up on me.  Knew it’d be good, but not this good.

    George Liyeos- Chairman St. Louis Greek Open

    George Liyeos- Chairman St. Louis Greek Open

    Opa, George A. Liyeos. Chairman of this year’s Greek Open. I asked George on, cause I’m not that up to speed on the Greek St. Louis community, and his family as been a vital part of it for decades. We play the vocab game, think Big Fat Greek Wedding, vinegar not Windex, there’s a new Greek doc coming out and yes, the Greeks started everything. Any episode with a Lou Potsu mention is a good one. Glad we did this. Apple: https://rb.gy/ixndo0 Web: https://otwitholiver.com/ #stl #greek #greek #stlouis
