Since Christopher Glenn retired from CBS News early this year, I’ve been meaning to put the In the News Sounder on the site…. But Now unfortunately, along with it, I’m putting Harley Carnes’ Tribute to Glenn up as well.

Many Buffalonians may have missed the news of Glenn’s passing since it happened in the midst of the much bally-hooed October Surprize storm…. But not many of us between the the ages of say, 25 and 45, could forget the In the News segments that ran during our favorite Saturday Morning Cartoons on CBS-TV.  I always prefered the In the News Segments to NBC’s answer to teach kids in the midst of cartoons… Remember when Mrs. Garrett or Alex P. Keaton would play a little video… Stop it… Tell you to think about… Then let it end happily? Chris Glenn was straight up good information for kids. If you needed Willie Tanner to tell you not to lie, you’re probably behind bars now, and not able to read this.

 His delivery was perfect, and completely unique. Fellow WBEN Newsman John Healy reminded me that when he retired, he had planned to do some narration and voiceover work for the History Channel. It’s my selfish hope that he did get into the studio before he got sick.
