Sports announcers are a breed of their own and few stand out from the rest, such as John Madden in football, Vin Scully known as \u201cMr. Baseball, Foster Hewitt the long-time announcer of the Toronto Maple Leafs and Dick Vitale who began broadcasting college basketball games in 1979. Each one of these men had a quality you can\u2019t teach, their unbridled passion for what they loved was infectious and so it is with our very own \u201cUncle\u201d Dave.

Dave brings a special kind of enthusiasm that can\u2019t be taught, to this great hobby of model railroading and anyone that tries to keep up with him is almost surely going to fall behind. Just listen to him as he describes his new book from Kalmbach about yard design or his self-published book, Guarding the Chicago Line, and his excitement about refurbishing a couple of Kato SD40-2\u2019s. It\u2019s time well spent with \u201cUncle\u201d Dave we\u2019re sure you\u2019ll enjoy!!
