As Van Miller used to say, “Fasten your seat belts” and “Do you believe it”: His name is going on the press box at Dunkirk High School’s football field.
Miller, a DHS graduate and Dunkirk native, did the radio play-by-play for Buffalo Bills games from 1960-71 and 1977-2003. He passed away in 2015 at age 87.
City School District Superintendent Michael Mansfield told the Board of Education Tuesday that a couple community members have approached him about naming the Karl Hoeppner Field press box after Miller.
“He was a very prominent graduate here,” Mansfield said. “The press box seems like a natural place to recognize him.”
The superintendent asked for and received the board’s support, and said he would start the process of renaming the box at Karl Hoeppner Field.
