RIP - Curt Gowdy

[Daniel Billings]

A quick note on how age impacts ones perspective on the news:

I am a New England sports fan, but I don't remember hearing Gowdy broadcast 
a game.  I watched the '75 series that he broadcast, but I was only 7 so I 
don't remember the broadcasters.

I was born in 1968 so he was long gone from the Sox when I started following 
them and by the time that I really starting watching national broadcasts in 
the 80's, he was also gone from there.

As a fan and a former broadcaster, I had, of course, heard of him but I bet 
most people my age and younger are thinking "Who?" when hearing today's 
news.
