Peter, many congratulations!!! That’s very big news!
And speaking of news, who put the “- 30 -” at the end of that press release? My father used to say “goodnight, and 30” to me on occasion, and he said it had to do with a radio broadcaster he used to listen to but I didn’t get the full story until I googled “good night, and 30” (you must use the quotes to get to the right place). Try it!
Mary:
That was THE most fun bit of trivia I have come across in a long time!
I’ll leave it to other visitors to find the answer on google as I did but I could not have enjoyed that piece of broadcast trivia more. Bravo!
Thanks for the kudos, matched and surpassed by Mary’s own terrific VO for New York State’s anti-smoking campaign. Great work.
Best always,
-Peter
