Bill Schonely and I had lunch the other day in our annual celebration of his birthday.

His 92nd, which comes Tuesday, June 1.

“I remember as a young kid, I would see some of the older people walking around,” the legendary voice of the Trail Blazers said. “I thought, ‘Boy oh boy, are they old. I don’t ever want to be old like that.’

“Well, guess what? I’m 92. I’m one of those old guys now.”
