I too met Mr. Harwell sometime in the 8...Aunt Mona,<br />I too met Mr. Harwell sometime in the 80's at a book signing in Westland Mall. He was gracious and polite just as you and Mike described him. <br />I was never a big baseball fan, but I loved Mr. Harwel. That voice always brought me right back to my youth. That voice was the soundtrack of my childhood. I remember returning to Michigan in the summer of 2000, as I was driving I found myself listening to a Tiger game, feel so comforted by Ernie's voice, thinking about grandpa, my dad, and all the people and places of my youth that were no more, like your backyard on John Hawk...I can still hear Ernie's voice echo almost as a form whitenoise to the filling any lull in whatever discussion was being held around the lawn chairs or picnic table. I am not a religous man, but hearing his voice that evening was incredibly spiritual<br />Ernie's passing is sad on so many levels, as I told my sister, it is like a member of our ly has died. To you Mr. Harwell on behalf of thousands, ney millions of other Tiger fans and Michganders alike, you sir were a true orginal, summer will never be the same without you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
