I was fortunate to become an acquaintance of Ron in the early 90's & found him to be an interesting guy. He had a fantastic collection (which is a story into itself) but specialized in postcards (eventually writing a book on the subject).
One minor correction I'd make is that Ron was the voice of the Washington Senators from '69 thru '71 (he was on the air during their final game when they had to forfeit due to fans storming the field in the 9th inning)...
