THE LOSS OF A GREAT MAN

[Templar]

THE DETROIT AREA LOST A GREAT SPORTS ANNOUNCER AND HUMANITARIAN IN THE DEATH OF ERNIE HARWELL......HE DIED AT HOME OF CANCER AT THE AGE OF 92..........HE WAS THE VOICE OF THE DETROIT TIGERS' BASEBALL TEAM FOR OVER 40 YEARS............IF ANY OF  YOU FOLLOW SPORTS I AM SURE YOU HAVE HAD CERTAIN ANNOUNCERS THAT STOOD OUT FROM THE OTHERS---WELL ERNIE WAS A GIANT IN HIS FIELD AND I HOPE SOME OF YOU HAD A CHANCE TO HEAR HIM.........
      REST IN PEACE ERNIE...................THE TEMPLAR
