“I don’t think back at the time he was exposed to asbestos anyone was aware of the dangers.”
People were aware of the danger at least by the early 80’s. He was working on NBC sets at that time.
RIP Merlin Olsen....One of the truly good guys!!!
Great player on the field.
Smooth and informative in front of a mic and a camera.
Probably the most liked person on any set or commercial shoot!!!
His longtime partner on NBC, Dick Enberg must be devestated by the news. He is supposed to call the Pac-10 Championship game for CBS on Saturday night. If he does, I hope CBS gives him the opportunity to remember his friend even if means showing pics of them in NBC stuff.....
Did anyone else on the set get diagnosed with mesothelioma?
