The Story of the Stanford Axe - Spiny_Norman - 11-12-2017
An annual tradition of mine is to rewatch Hal Mickelson recite the story of the Stanford Axe. I invite you to join me.

" . . . all that is heroic, uplifting and red will confront all that is tawdry, meretricious and blue."
And for those of you unfamiliar with Hal Mickelson, he is the former Band announcer and a true Stanford treasure.

I believe that any mention of his name must be prefaced by the word IMMORTAL. His voice and spirit are sorely missed. I will never forget "Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen..."
