Hi everyone! Yes, it’s that time of year once again, and I’m here bearing gifts and good news! First off, I’m pleased to announce that I have been invited by the Sunnyvale, California Public Library to give a virtual talk on the history of the Seals. As you may know, the San Jose Sharks are celebrating their 35th anniversary this season (seriously, 35 years already!), and since the Seals helped lay the groundwork for the Sharks’ incredible success, hockey fans may like to hear more about the Golden Ones’ quirky past. If you would like to attend the event, you must register first as spots are limited, so don’t wait, go sign up here right now!
And the good news doesn’t end there, folks! Pete Manzolillo contacted me this week to let me know that a complete radio broadcast from the Seals-Canucks game from December 12, 1970 has been posted to YouTube. I strongly urge you to take a listen to the crystal-clear broadcast, complete with vintage 1970 commercials, and both intermissions; a wonderful trip back in time. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to the whole game, and I know you will too. Unfortunately, there is a bug in WordPress right now and for some reason I’m not able to add the link to the Video and Audio section of the site, so I’ve embedded the YouTube video to this here post. Thanks again, Pete, for the heads-up!
This will be my last post of 2025, since I will be on holidays the next two weeks, and I will also be busy preparing for the virtual talk, as well as making final edits to my manuscript, and securing photos for the new book. I would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! I wish you all good health and happy times with family and friends. I’ll see you all right back here in a few weeks! Until next time, stay gold!
