Larry McCarren, who has come to be as well known as a TV sports director, emcee and after-dinner speaker as he was as the Packers' longtime center during the 1970s and '80s, will take on another significant role when the Packers Hall of Fame holds its 2004 induction banquet.

McCarren, today sports director of Green Bay's WFRV-TV, has been named to present Packers President/CEO Bob Harlan for induction during this year's event, to be held in the Lambeau Field Atrium Saturday night, July 17. Harlan, the sole inductee, will become the 131st member of the Packers shrine.

Himself a member of the Packers "Hall," McCarren was inducted in 1992, in company with quarterback Lynn Dickey and contributor Al Schneider.

McCarren, who frequently has served as master of ceremonies for the enshrinement banquet over the past decade, earlier enjoyed one of the most distinguished careers of any offensive lineman in Packers annals, starting more games at center than any other player in Green Bay's long history and being named to three Pro Bowls during his 12-year career (1973-84).

Since closing out his playing career, McCarren has become a fixture on local television as sports director of CBS Channel 5 and host of the "Larry McCarren Locker Room Show," and co-host of the "Mike Sherman Show" during the Packers season. Since 1995, he also has been a member of the Packers Radio Network team, delivering analysis and commentary on Network broadcasts of Green Bay's games.

Harlan, in his 15th year as the Packers' president and chief executive officer, was unanimously elected to the Hall of Fame in recognition of his major and multiple contributions to the NFL's most storied franchise, which also has become pro football's most successful organization under his visionary leadership.

Harlan's election to the "Hall" followed upon the crowning achievement of his highly productive tenure - completion last September of the $295 million renovation of Lambeau Field, a remarkable three-year project that transformed the venerable stadium into a 365-day-a-year tourist destination.
