That was it, the lawyer's name was F. Lee Bailey.

I think he did some guest appearances on "The Advocates" if anyone remembers that TV series from the 70s.

I can't remember who told me this story. It was a long time ago but he was visiting, for the first time, a girl friend from college at her home in a Connecticut suburb of New York. He took the train there and her father, a radio announcer, met him at the train station. For some reason the girl hadn't been able to make it. He and the father made small talk as they drove out of the parking lot, along the streets and onto the highway. Finally my friend was no longer able to control himself. He pleaded with the father, "Would you do it, please?"

The father knew what he was referring to and, as the car sped along the Merrit Parkway in suburban Connecticut, the radio announcer did his most famous piece of work, "Return with us now to those thrilling days of yesteryear..."

Americans over the age of 40 will know what this is about. It was th opening of "The Lone Ranger". As far as I know, it never varied from the time it started on the radio, probably in the late thirties to when it disappeared off television in the fifties.
