Munson has surgery for blood clots on his brain
ATHENS, Ga. (AP) - Family members disclosed today that longtime
Georgia radio announcer Larry Munson had successful surgery
yesterday to remove blood clots on his brain.
Munson's recovery period is not known, but family members said
he is expected to make a full recovery following the procedure to
correct the subdural hematoma.
Georgia athletic director Damon Evans said, "I was really
pleased to hear that Larry's surgery went well on Friday. All of us
in the Bulldog Nation wish him a full and speedy recovery."
The 85-year-old Munson was admitted to St. Mary's Hospital in
Athens on Thursday. Tests revealed the blood clots.
Due to health problems, Munson worked only home games and the
game at Georgia Tech during the 2007 season, his 42nd calling
Georgia games.
WSB's Neil Williamson told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution he
saw Munson after Georgia's G-Day spring football game today and
said Munson was pleased to hear about the strong play of running
back Caleb King.
Williamson said, "He smiled real big when he saw that."
Williamson said Munson is expected to remain the primary
play-by-play announcer in the 2008 season.
Munson's family provided the following address for anyone
wishing to send cards or letters: Larry Munson, c/o UGA Athletic
Association, P.O. Box 1472, Athens, GA 30603.
