I agree, as I think Ray himself would have.  He knew what his role was and
why he was there.  Fortunately, he had Adrian as his color guy, and that
helped smooth over some of the connectivity that might have been lost in
the transition from Moreland to Scott.

Mine too.  Keith was also absolutely wonderful with our UNL broadcast
students any time he was in Lincoln to cover a game.  His last time here,
at the opening of the new pressbox, he spent ninety minutes in a Q&A
session with our students the morning before the game, and took time after
the game (tired though he was from his own afternoon of work) to visit with
our student play-by-play crew about how their broadcast had come out, and
even took pictures with them.  The students were awe-struck. The consummate
gentleman.

> PS.  Let us know when your book is out, Rich, that sounds like a good
read.

At this point, it's a radio program only, though I have toyed with the idea
of a book, perhaps with a companion CD of some broadcast samples.
