So, I had no idea they added "Best Radio Announcer" to the categories at Best of Greene County. I also had no idea someone had nominated me (THANK YOU!), and had no idea I had won until I received an e-mail telling me so.

I picked up my award on Monday from the Daily Mail offices in Hudson. It is quite an honor, after 50 years of broadcasting, to be voted the best by the citizens of Greene County. Thank you all for your support!!
