LINFIELDER RON CALLAN DOES 2021 FOOTBALL PLAY-BY-PLAY FOR LINFIELD, OREGON STATE
Ron is sideline reporter for Oregon State University games’
Beaver Radio Network broadcasts. He is also play-by-play “voice” for broadcasts
of OSU women’s basketball.
=LSN/Linfield Sports Network’s football broadcast “voice” Joe Stuart’s mother, Maria Stuart, 56, died Oct. 13, 2021.
She was co-owner of McMinnville’s R. Stuart & Co. Winery and instrumental
in the International Pinot Noir Celebration in McMinnville.
Because of her passing, Joe did not work the Oct. 16 Linfield
home game football win over Pacific. In that game’s LSM streamcast, Ron did
play-by-play joined by Dave Hansen’s
color commentary.
(By beating Pacific, Linfield extended its national streak of
consecutive winning seasons to 65. See photo by Ron posted here taken after the
game from the Memorial Stadium broadcast booth showing Maxwell Field
activities.)
“Our hearts go out to Joe and his family. To help Joe and Linfield, I enjoyed the chance to work with Dave and broadcast my alma
mater’s game,” said Ron. “Doing play-by-play for Linfield and Oregon State in
the same season is special for me.”
