Isn't Reb still the PA voice for the Indiana Pacers at Conseco Fieldhouse? I have also heard him doing traffic on other Indy stations.

[bigtime]

T.J. Byers died a few years ago, suicide if I recall correctly. Bob Hamilton was doing oldies on the west coast for years. Dan Summers still works his day job in Indy.

Jack Armstrong was ok when he was at WIFE in '76-'77, but he was at his peak in about '71 on WKBW Buffalo.
