Having enjoyed the company of Lee Gordon at the beginning of my trip, I was able to close my Boston adventure with the company of the lovely and talented Moe Egan and the Emmy Award winning voice talent Mary C. McKitrick.
Mary has a cool new concept for a direct mail campaign tying in her turn as the narrator of the Emmy Award winning documentary series “Wild View“. And Moe is about to put the finishing touches on her new marketing plan…by July 15th, I’m told.
It was a really great night sitting out near the water having dinner with these talented friends of mine.
On a windy, damp and foggy evening in Bahsten, I had the good fortune to meet up with my friend and fellow SunSetter Awning voice over talent Lee Gordon for a little dinner and a bunch of voice over talk.
Lee is smart as a whip on the regional radio scene and when you get a couple of old radio guys chatting it up, well you better have the waitress bring another bread basket cause we’re going to be here awhile!
It was a great treat to see Lee who I will see again in September at Faffcon 3.
There are many great reasons to go to Faffcon.
The reason I will expound on today is that if you go to Faffcon, you may meet neighbors you never knew you had.
I had known of Natalie Stanfield Thomas via the internet and social media but had not met her and learned about her career until we met at Faffcon and became fast friends.
She lives near Bath, NY which is only about two hours away from my studio and part of a route I’ve been driving for years to see my in-laws near the NY/PA border.
In addition to her long career as a radio talent and voice over talent, she and her husband Ed (who also joined us for our lunch – a very nice fellow as you might expect) work with the Family Life Network. FLN has an impressive network of stations.
I was really appreciative that Natalie and Ed could take time out of their day to visit with me and talk shop.
Voiceover Xtra! has a fun article about folks who “network” featuring my voice over friends Liz “you don’t have to say my last name right as long as the spelling is close enough for me to cash the check” de Nesnera and Trish “you thought my last name was hard to pronounce – let me introduce you to my friend Liz” Basanyi.
It’s a fun read. written by voice talent Kelley Buttrick.
