Hello everyone, 

How are you dealing with this heat? Some of us, not too well. I love it! This is my time of the year. It just doesn’t agree with my health. I have a few things I want to talk to you about this week, so take note.

I would like to extend my condolences to the family of Coach James “Butch” McAdams, who passed away on June 23, 2024 at his home in Washington, DC at the age of 74. “Butch” was a native Washingtonian and was raised in the Catholic faith. He retired after 31 years as a teacher of physical education and the head basketball coach. In 1992, he became a radio sports talk show personality on Cathy Hughes’ WOLB Radio One, as well as co-host on a daily morning radio show with our own radio personality talk show host, Larry Young which aired on WOLB 1010 A.M. in Baltimore. Coach James “Butch” McAdams’ funeral will be held at Mt. Calvary Catholic Church, located at 67 Marlboro Pike, Forestville, Maryland on Saturday, July 13, 2024 at 10 a.m. For our Baltimore folks, Cleve Brister and his buddies have arranged to have the “Coach Butch” viewing on Tuesday, July 16, from 4-7 p.m. at the House of Prayer on Liberty Heights Avenue.
