Vance's Story
Yes, just in case you were wondering, I still sing. I just don't sing as much as I used to and believe me it is getting more difficult all the time. Since leaving Finneytown, you still probably heard my voice. I was the voice who introduced the President much of the time during 1976.

Now I have two rescue greyhounds and a very nice sailboat to keep me busy. Oh, and I still sing.
