Where Are They Now?

   Some of you may already be aware of it, but for those that aren't, we are currently airing a very interesting (in my biased opinion) special segment on WGEM SportsCenter presented by Hardee's. That, of course, is our morning sports talk show that airs every weekday from 7 to 9 a.m.

  The special segment is called "Where Are They Now?", sponsored by Eric Kiser Insurance. This year, we are celebrating our 60th anniversary of WGEM Radio. With that in mind we are interviewing 60 of the most recognizable sport personalities from the past 60 years locally. Most of our interviewees will be former star athletes, but we'll also be hearing from a few coaches and former WGEM broadcasters. The segment airs from approximately 8-8:15 a.m. every Tuesday and Wednesday morning. We've already got four weeks in the books, but the segment will run for 30 weeks, so you've still got plenty of time to catch on and go on a few trips down memory lane with us!

  Here's the list of guests, in no particular order, so far:

• Michael Payne, QHS basketball standout
• Steve Cramblit, former WGEM sports broadcaster
• Caren Kemner, QND grad and former U.S. Olympic volleyball player
• Marty Hull, '90s West Pike basketball star, now Western H.S. boys basketball coach
• Mike Siebers, was a stud in basketball and soccer at QND
• Greg Church, basketball star of the '80s at Palmyra
• Tim Meckes, QND grad made it to Double-A minor league level in pro baseball
• Phil Harvey, member of legendary '50-'52 QHS basketball teams

  We've got a pretty good list we're working from to get these interviews, but maybe we've missed or forgotten about someone. If you've got a name that you think stands out from the past 60 years on the local scene reply here or shoot us an email to sports@wgem.com.
