In The News... Christopher Glenn... RIP

[PapaBear]

<p>Former CBS News radio and TV reporter Christopher Glenn, who <a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/02/22/entertainment/main1337111.shtml" target="new">died Tuesday</a> from liver cancer at 68, spent 35 years at CBS News. He hosted the children's program &quot;In the News&quot; as well as &quot;World News Roundup&quot; and &quot;The World Tonight&quot; with a distinctive voice and signature style that was instantly recognizable. <br /></p><p>I had forgotten about <a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/blogs/2006/10/18/publiceye/entry2101599.shtml" target="_self">Christopher Glenn</a>, but damn... He was basically my first introduction to TV News. RIP, Budday.</p>

<p>Christopher Glenn was the first adult who communicated the world to me as a kid.&nbsp; I was riveted by those those In the news things...he presented real stuff and didn't talk down to you and had a newscaster voice, but somehow you just absorbed and understood, at least a little, what he was talking about.&nbsp; <br /> </p><p>Every once in a while I find myself mumbling &quot;In the News, I'm Christopher Glenn...&quot;&nbsp;</p><p>this from youtube...that signature music is chilling if you haven't heard it for a while...</p><p>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbRFMbGVfNI&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

Wow I just heard about this...&nbsp; He was younger than I thought.&nbsp; I remember watching him when I was a kid.&nbsp; It was one of my favorite parts of Saturday morning.<br />
