(KIRO Newsradio) Dori’s career in radio started in 1982 at the University of Washington, and included work at KING-TV, KING Radio and at KIRO since the early 1990s. A man of deep faith and a fierce advocate for girls’ sports for more than 25 years, Dori coached Shorecrest High School to its first state girls basketball title in 2016. Monson passed away Saturday night at a Seattle hospital.
John Curley hosted a 9-hour salute to the memory of Dori Monson. Here is a clip from the KIRO broadcast…

That hour 3 open is the audio here. Curley is good, sometimes great.

Tried to listen to John’s opening of hour number 3. (Heard it live on Monday and didn’t have enough Kleenex nearby to hear it again.) As real as radio ever gets. A remarkable tribute to a phenomenal person!
