Does this remind Portsmouth Ohio people of Bill Dawson's "Burnt toast and coffee time" on WNXT radio? Bill was iconic for P'Town before the icon name was invented. Bill had personality 'out the gazoo' and Coach Bill Rohr use him to add salt and pepper to the game rallies in the PHS auditorium. He became a friend to Jeanie and me at Christ's Community Church through Scott Rawlings. The Church League softball was a lot of fun, while not as competitive as the B&B loan teams and their ilk. Bill pitched for the Trinity Methodist Church team and told Scott in my presence once: "I could never get this guy out." Meaning me, (Blush). Please realize now that Scott is getting older and might not remember this occasion for me. Scott is a tad younger than me though.
Bill became a wonderful Christian and was on a Christian station here in the Columbus area for a while in his later career.
Please God, grant our friend Bill Dawson real rest and peace and a lot of love.
