Ezekiel "Zeke" Whittle 1902-2005

Zeke Whittle is dead.

Ethan - Zeke's great nephew - just called my headquarters to inform us of this tragic news. Today was the legendary newscaster's 103rd birthday, and he was planning to celebrate it here at Huff And Blow and over the Internet. Sadly, all he was able to do was post this one, all too brief entry. Apparently he passed on shortly after that post.

We will all greatly miss Zeke Whittle and his wisdom. Please stay tuned to Caen Broadcasting throughout the day for all the details on Zeke's long life and innumerable accomplishments.

UPDATE: This report was thankfully in error. Please see "Zeke Whittle is ALIVE!"
