A great article about short track announcers in the NY Times.

A great article. I am proud to say that Jeff is one of our best friends and we still keep in contact after moving six years ago to Indiana. He works hard at his trade and puts a lot of time and effort into being the best that he can be behind the mike. Jeff is very informative and does his homework to bring pertinent information to the race fans week in and week out.
