I see Jim McKay passed away earlier today. Most of us probably remember him from Wide World of Sports, and "...the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat!" I know many a Saturday afternoon was spent growing up watching that show.

Yes, Jim McKay died and it's sad news. I recall him fondly also.
This thread probably belongs in the PRESS RELEASES and NEWS sub-forum, but thanks for posting it. :thumbup:
He was the oldest famous person alive with my birthday :bluesad:
I was at an awards ceremony in Boston back in 1983 and met Jim McKay (he was the guest speaker). A very nice man. I have his autograph on a napkin somewhere.
