This is becoming a near daily event on one board or another, but I read today of the passing of another broadcast colleague, Jack Voorhies. He did radio in Alabama, ran an ad agency in Nashville and Montgomery, and was a VO talent. Strictly for the oldtimers, you will remember him as "Lavelle" of Curtis and Lavelle, a pair who did countless ads for a Memphis car dealership in the 70's and 80's. Jack also had one of those great gravelly voices, with enough southern to be the perfect "storyteller" narrator.
 
how far do you go back in the Tuscumbia Ala area? I had long lost relative that was in radio and had a country music show on a TV station in Florence back in the late 50's or early 60's.....ever hear of Red McLaughlin?
 
Great! It seems that we might be related. Are we talking about the same Red Mc Laughlin? He is a 2'nd, or 3'rd or 4'th cousin. His Mother, Velma, was my Grandfather's sister. I used to have an autographed picture of him on his horse ala Roy Rogers style. He was proud of the little community that he grew up in....it was called "Cowpen"
 
He was Irving Loblolly on Sports. It was syndicated on many radio stations in the south.
