Produced by Rosie Goldsmith

Coded from tape at 128/44.1

I'm sure you expect me to say I'm sorry not to be with you tonight. Well,
on the whole I'm not sorry. Radio broadcasters should be heard and not seen.
On October 15th this year these words, spoken by Alistair Cooke himself,
echoed around Westminster Abbey, listened to by over 2000 friends, family
and colleagues who had gathered to commemorate his life. They are also the
opening words of this special Christmas Day BBC Radio tribute to Cooke,
in which those friends, family and colleagues remember Cooke's broadcasting
career and his rich and long life.
Alistair Cooke was a man of many talents and passions. He was a witty and
erudite public speaker and essayist, a jazzman, a golf and tennis fanatic,
a television presenter and a friend to the stars of journalism, politics,
music, sports and Hollywood. James Naughtie presents this tribute to a
renaissance man and icon of broadcasting.

 | My mom had the complete CD collection of "Letters from America" and we used to listen to them when we were in the car on long drives. She died unexpectedly last year. I couldn't find the CD's, but I've got MP3 copies anyway. Hearing this guys' voice just brings back great memories, and he was such a fascinating man to listen to, with great stories, and a wonderful voice for broadcasting. Thank you spafon7e   |

 | You're welcome! Something went out of my Friday evenings when Cooke went off the air.  |
