Greg Kampe's only been the coach for 38 years. Maybe in a few years Ron will meet him. After last night's big win by Oakland University, I wondered if Ron ever met or interviewed the coach Greg Kampe. It doesn't look like he did, from this post from two years ago. That was one example of so many lo...

Ron's post-death history may form the basis for the long-imagined Ron Cameron: The Musical, a repository for the many satirical numbers this thread has spawned. When the composer David Yazbek approached his “Band’s Visit” collaborator David Cromer in 2019 about directing “Dead Outlaw,” a high-energy...

While his burial disposition remained outstanding (&, for all we know, may still now), I wonder if Ron chalked it up to there not being anyone who wants to work anymore. Something about extended unemployment benefits.

On this monthiversary I still cannot bring myself to cast off my Yellow Pages (or my baseball trivia questions, for that matter). In some alternative universe, I'm thinking there must be another one-man operation in need of a 2023 copy of the Oakland South Central Yellow Pages.

At the one month anniversary of Ron's death, here is a parody of a song made famous by Bob Hope, one of Ron's neighbors during the 1990s (https://mibuzzboard.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=49112&start=16815#p741300). Feel free to add your own verses! Thanks for the Memory Thanks for the memory Of s...

I wonder if The Ghost of Ron Cameron has teamed up with The Ghost of Al Capone at The Fenton Hotel?

If so, I can imagine the ghost of Capone saying, “Who’s this putz thinking he can horn in on my territory?!”

How many area motels could claim Ron?

Wherever he may be, Ron must be kvelling at the news that that good/great man - & would-be biographer - Ted Kulfan has landed in the Dearborn Sports HOF: https://www.detroitnews.com/story/sports/nhl/red-wings/2024/03/15/ted-kulfan-earns-dearborn-parks-and-recreation-sports-hall-of-fame-nod/729876110...

Watching the pistons as they are playing the heat. They just panned to family friend Erik Spostra, With all the local coaches, managers & executives Ron acknowledged never meeting, I was always dubious of his oft-told story about chatting up the Miami Heat coach who was surprised someone remembered...

It appears Mozzarella's Pizza in Rochester Hills, one of Ron's more recent sponsors, has gone out of business.

Can the closing of the Fenton Hotel be far away?

In yesterday's Detroit News , Lynn Henning was channeling Ron in an article about Ryan Garko, vice president of Tigers development: Credit goes to Al Avila, the previous Tigers general manager, for recognizing the Tigers were a few eons behind too many other MLB teams when it came to grooming playe...

Reading this book review, my thoughts turned to Ron. In October 2001, the playwright Leonard Melfi, known for his prolific work in experimental theater, died alone at 68 in a Manhattan hospital, ending a long alcoholic decline. Melfi’s relatives and friends remained unaware of his demise. Before lon...

I missed his show yesterday, what happened? Did we hear the 2023 Tiger grades yet, or is Ron sharing those next week?

Someone's been paying attention! I do wonder if his exhaustive analysis of the '23 Tigers, along with his birthday plaque, were found among his effects.

Would Ron have said that Sammy Sosa was a "Boney Maroney"?
