Great job Rowell,

I too auditioned for it -- and was the more formal type of Uncle Sam voice... but they chose you because yours was a new take on the Uncle Sam character -- and that's just what they were looking for.
Happy you won it!

again, thanks for much-valued encouragement.

now that i know some of the voices i was auditioning alongside, i'm even more surprised to have gotten the nod.

and chuck...yeah, there were about five alternate end lines, but they chose the one i was rooting for.

you folks can't know how much the good wishes mean to me...or then again, maybe you can. thanks again, either way.

just remember...the sales department is counting on the fact that you don't think straight when you're scared!

Great job Rowell!!


An observation only, not a comment: Anyone notice we haven't had one single national Yellow or Orange Alert since Election Day 2004?
