With Each Anthem Sung, Family's Philadelphia Legacy Carries On (NYT)

Yes, I know we've dome alot of sports lately - and especially alot oh hockey. But it's all been pretty good stuff.

And, here's another one.

Today's New York Times has a nice piece by Dave Caldwell on Lauren Hart, daughter of Gene Hart, the play-by-play announcer on Philadelphia Flyer radio broadcasts from the team's inception in 1967 until 1995. Gene Hart, who died in 1999, became known as the Voice of the Flyers.

Now, Lauren Hart is that voice of the Flyers.

Not as play-by-play announcer, but as the anthem singer at Flyers' home games.
