reasons.
"Paul's voice gave him special distinction. He was
called upon to narrate regional and national documentaries, had
numerous commercial clients, appeared in radio dramas, and for more
than 10 years, until recently, played the leading role of John Avery
Whittaker in the radio drama series "Adventures in Odyssey", earning
him fans worldwide." - Obituary of Paul Herlinger

full face is revealed.
