    I know this is semi off topic, but whatever happened to:


    Steve Arena? (KATU/KFXX)

    Lou Ghellos? (KATU)

    Eric Johnson? (KGW)

    Ed Whelan? (KOIN)

    "Running" Ann Schotz? (KOIN)

    Mike Donahue? (KOIN)

    Eric (?) Schmidt (KOIN)

    Sean (or Shawn) Minton? I think he was the one who claimed he was doing a show from the top of the Rose Garden one day (KFXX)

    Greg Robinson? (KFXX and maybe KPAM?)

    Greg (or was it Craig?) Crawford? (KFXX)

    Dream Weaver (KFXX/KPAM)

    I know there was an article a few years ago addressing Ed's health issues, and I believe Steve Arena started up a cleaning company (tho I'm not sure what he was cleaning). Just wondering whatever happened to the rest of the group. So many of them played a role in sports memories in Portland (good or bad).

    Arena now owns and runs a (extremely expensive) dry-cleaners in Lake Oswego.

    Running Anne is calling games for a few different networks like CBSSports and Big10 Network. Lives here with us in NE Portland. See her up at Starbucks every now and then.

    10 or 15 years ago there was this brunette weather-woman on channel 12 who was prone to wisecracks and had an extremely noticeable chest. I forget her name but I still remember her...persona.

    anybody else remember her?

    So I have a friend that works in media. Here's what he said about some of the ones mentioned
    Arena does own a dry cleaning business in LO.

    Ghellos is with Microsoft.
    Eric Johnson is one of the lead anchors at KOMO in Seattle. Non sports.
    Ed Whalen is what was mentioned
    Mike Donahue retired.

    Those are the ones he knows of.
