small h Posted September 10, 2024 Share Posted September 10, 2024 I didn't know he was the voice of the CNN...sound logo? Not sure what that's called. But it's so obvious now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilfrid Posted September 11, 2024 Share Posted September 11, 2024 Oh, oh, I was thinking of course I respected this guy but don’t have any particularly personal memories to share. Fool. He ate dinner at a nearby table to me in Chez Josephine. 🙂 Don’t ask me when. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
