Ron was a lucky man. He was able to live to nearly 80 and making his way on that journey by working various jobs related to the sports world that he seemed to love. I thought that today’s tribute show was very respectful to his memory. More respectful to him than he was to those that passed that he ...

A tip of the hat today to DeltaDawn, who, in our ancestral thread, asked us to summarize Ron Cameron in one word. Among the earliest of responses was one that asked DeltaDawn, So what made this deserve a new discussion? He has been around forever. I think you have personal issues with him[.] More t...

Ron is the Ed Wood of sports talk radio.

Starting to reviewing some vintage posts. This one stood out.

Mo, I gotta admit, I kind of feel bad for disparaging the reputation of Ed Wood.

Regarding my "archives:" I recorded many of Ron's shows directly off WPON's and WDTK's streams. I have also recorded many (if not all) of the podcasts from WDTK, plus other sites that have old Ron recordings. I have downloaded (if that's the right term) them in my Apple Music library. Can someone s...

Wish list for Friday: Guest appearances by at least Bob Page and Alex Alway. Calls from as many regulars as possible. It wouldn't be a Ron Cameron show without ads, so recordings of Ron reading ads for his most enduring sponsors—Fenton Hotel and Southfield Ram's Horn. Some kind of montage of Ron, i...

I just now heard of Mr. Cameron's passing. Prayers to his family and friends. I quit opening this thread when one of you started waiting for him in a library parking lot every weekend. I'm actually old enough to remember Page and Cameron on their show, The gentleman was a fountain of sports knowled...

I heard Page as a call-in guest on Ron's old AM 1310 show about 20 years ago. Page spent much of the interview making wise cracks at Ron's expense, repeatedly mentioning how almost no one was listening to the show. It was actually a rather amusing segment! The tweets from Bob exude a personality si...

Bob Page and Martin are going back and forth on x about the city of Warren not releasing Ron's remains until they can locate a relative. Also, Page is talking about someone starting a gofundme so Ron doesn't end up in a potters' field. Maybe Hollywood director James Cameron can step up and assist.

Ron kept stacks of newspapers in his closet, yet, holding on to a phone number for more than a day was too tough of a task.

Probably unsold copies of Sports Fan Journal.

My thought too. And maybe a few USA Today sports sections.

Some nice comments by Alex Alway and Rich Kincaide on their Facebook pages. Also, a very poignant tribute by someone named Butch Davis. https://www.facebook.com/alex.alway.3 https://www.facebook.com/rich.kincaide https://www.facebook.com/butchonsports2 In case anyone can't access Facebook, here are...

The Freep has a few errors, namely AM frequencies, and omits Ron’s restaurants past the 1980s, but it is still a nice read. Next Friday I’d love to hear comments on air from old producers, as well as interviewees and callers. If Sean Baligian, George Eichorn, and yes, Bob Page could phone in and ex...

I'm told that the representatives of the Catholic League are in the process of ordering patches featuring the initials "RC" to be worn on the sleeve of all team jerseys in honor of Ron.

It is comments like this that keep me coming around this community. I love this place.

I'd like to think that Ron would be pleased with this remark from the Detroit Sports Nation article on his passing................ "The passing of Ron Cameron is a poignant reminder of the transient nature of the voices that come into our lives through the airwaves, leaving indelible marks on our m...

With the passing of Ron the longest running thread on the buzzboard will soon (sadly) be coming to an end.I believe after the tribute show it would only be fitting if Bobbert and Momo have the last two posts.The thread should then be locked. It will be tough to give this up cold turkey, but nothing...
