b'Larry Michael on what would be better than the Washington Redskins playing in Super Bowl LII ~\\n\\n". . .the perfect scenario here would be, the Redskins go to the Super Bowl in 2017, which would mean 2018, and the day before the game is played, we get where Joe Jacoby is going into the Hall of Fame."\\n\\nLarry Michael, Voice of the Washington Redskins\\n\\nA Ockershausen:\\tWhat a great opportunity for you in Our Town to hear about the voice of the Washington Redskins, who\'s going to be now a voice of the Washington Redskins WMAL thank you, thank you, thank you. A very dear friend and a big, big man in broadcasting in Our Town, Larry Michael. Welcome to Our Town.\\nLarry Michael:\\tHi, buddy. How you doing? \\nA Ockershausen:\\tLarry, we\'ve had such a great, great time with you. I look about all the stuff you\'ve done, and I can\'t believe it until I\'ve seen it and read about it. You have been involved in so much, but you never left town.\\nLarry Michael:\\tNever did, and one of my highlights is working with you. \\nA Ockershausen:\\tOh, Larry, the good old days. \\nLarry Michael:\\tThe telethon. \\nA Ockershausen:\\tOh, boy. The good old days and now, Larry. I read so much about you, but I didn\'t read- \\nLarry Michael:\\tGot a lot of notes there, don\'t you? \\nThe Early Years in Our Town\\nA Ockershausen:\\tAnything about you until I talked to you about your beginning in Our Town. Your family moved here from Chicago. \\nLarry Michael:\\tYeah. I was born in Chicago. My parents were from Sparta, Greece. In fact, my brother was born in Greece. \\nA Ockershausen:\\tSpartans? \\nLarry Michael:\\tSpartans, yes. Yes, 100%. Then from Chicago, they moved to D.C., Southeast D.C. when I was two, so there is a picture of me in a Cubs shirt as a baby, but that\'s it. D.C. from then on. Then a year after that, they moved to Silver Spring, Maryland, Four Corners area of Silver Spring, and I lived there, grew up there. I consider Silver Spring my hometown, really, but I was born in Chicago. \\nA Ockershausen:\\tBut that\'s still Our Town. Silver Spring is Our Town. \\nLarry Michael:\\tI think so. \\nA Ockershausen:\\tAnnapolis is our town. \\nLarry Michael:\\tI think so. \\nA Ockershausen:\\tEverything is within, what you got, about eight million people in our big broadcast schedule. \\nLarry Michael:\\tYeah. \\nA Ockershausen:\\tIncluding Baltimore. . .they know you, Larry. \\nLarry Michael:\\tMy dad had an establishment in D.C. and obviously, we went to D.C. Stadium. \\nA Ockershausen:\\tNot an estab- a very fine restaurant. \\nLarry Michael:\\tWell, it\'s wasn\'t that fine, but it was a restaurant. I say establishment, some of them might think the wrong thing, huh? I said it. Obviously, we\'d go to D.C. then RFK Stadium, and me and my brother would go, and later with friends, and just never left the area. Went to school here and had a couple of opportunities to leave, but- \\nFour Corners Elementary School | Sligo Junior High | Northwood High School\\nA Ockershausen:\\tYou went to grammar school and high school? \\nLarry Michael:\\tWent to Four Corners Elementary on University Boulevard. It\'s no longer there. \\nA Ockershausen:\\tRight. \\nLarry Michael:\\tThey\'ve got an assisted living home there or something. I went to Sligo Junior High, which is still there on Dennis Avenue, and I went to that fine, the Harvard at the Mid-Atlantic, the University of Maryland. \\nA Ockershausen:\\tWell, where\'d you go to high school? \\nLarry Michael:\\tNorthwood High School. \\nA Ockershausen:\\tOh, Northwood. \\nLarry Michael:\\tSilver Spring, Maryland. \\nA Ockershausen:\\tThat was closed. Yeah. \\nLarry Michael:\\tUniversity, I skipped that. And in fact, Northwood was closed for a long, long time because of a lack of enrollment right there, and it\'s right there, Kent Mill area, right before you get to Kent Mill- \\nA Ockershausen:\\tKnow it well. \\nLarry Michael:\\tOn University Boulevard, before you get to Wheaton and Northwood High School was my high school. Still hang out with some of my buddies from back then.'
