I can still remember growing up listening to this guy do sports - seemed like a real class guy to me.
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Sportscaster Chris Schenkel, whose easygoing baritone won over fans during a more than six-decade broadcasting career in which he covered everything from bowling to the Olympics, died Sunday following a long battle with emphysema. He was 82.

Do you have a pic of him. Sometimes folks do not know one by a name only a face. Would probably remember if I saw a face.
God bless his family and friends in his passing. !

Thanks Dan, yes I remember now. Been around for years indeed.
It's also still hard to believe Peter Jennings is gone. Thats a hard one to swallow, too.
