I think anyone would be hard-pressed to find a nicer guy. I went down in February one year (4+ hour drive from home) just to use a storage space down the hall from the Big A booth to call races. Between each race I would hang-out with John and have a good time.

Then Harvey Pack came-up to the booth for a few races. He and I talked about announcing, the future, whether or not I was going to college etc.

Both were stand-up guys. I remember that whole trip like it was yesterday.

John seems to have good chemistry with all the ladies. He and the two women at AP have quite the interesting conversations, at times.

and yes..agreed..get spoiled being able to listen to him all summer here. Seems like he never misses a call
