Harlem Globetrotters meet the K-W Media December 1969

A number of CKCO TV employees participate in a media basketball game against the famed Harlem Globe Trotters. During their 15 minutes of fame and decked out in their snappy uniforms (borrowed from The St. Jeromes High School team) they were awed by the dexterity of Meadowlark Lemon and his team mates, plainly seen in the faces of (L to R) Bill Inkol, Henning Grumme and the late Terry Thomas (caught between two Globe Trotters).  From footage filed on the game it was pointed out that the media guys touched the ball on at least three occasions.
