Devine's Dimes
"My road to being the voice of Dons Basketball began when I handled the public address chores for the Penguins from 1994-96. Dominican hadn't built the Conlan Center yet, so the Penguins played games at College of Marin, marin Catholic High School, Kezar Pavilion, Riordan High School, and even War Memorial Gymnasium!" – Devine on the Dominican connection
