My oldest son Eric and I were up and on the road by 7:30 this morning as we started a multi-state tour of visits with voiceover friends that we’ve been planning for several weeks now. Our first stop was for lunch in Knoxville, TN. We’d planned this stop for the Market Square section of downtown Knoxville and that turned out to be a wonderful choice, suggested by our friend John Weeks. I stitched together two photographs to get all 5 of us at the table.
From the left this is Eric Souer, Roger Baker, Todd Ethridge, John Weeks and Bob Souer. We ate lunch at Trio in Knoxville, TN.
After lunch, Eric and I hopped back in my PT Cruiser and headed north.
We had dinner with Tom Ackerman and his wonderful family in Lexington, KY.
Tom’s wife Kera took this shot of the three of us voiceover guys. After a very pleasant time of dinner and conversation, Tom was nice enough to take us over to the WLEX-TV, where he works as morning weather man.
Tom then had Eric and me sit at the anchor desk for a quick photo.
Tom told us to put on our best television smiles for the shot. As you can see, we were trying pretty hard.
We then drove a short ways further north to our hotel room for a night of rest. Tomorrow, more visits and good conversation are in store.
