Campee Posted October 22, 2010 Report Posted October 22, 2010 I did not attend PNG, however over the years; I would have the opportunity to go to a few of their games. Win or lose, one of the best parts of the game was hearing his voice booming over the PA system, "Laissez Les Bon Temps Roulez."... I can still hear it echoing throughout the Astrodome
adminbaberuth Posted October 22, 2010 Report Posted October 22, 2010 If we had a local HOF, add Mr. Durham.
badndn Posted October 22, 2010 Report Posted October 22, 2010 The voice of several generations! I thought about how professional he was as the PA announcer for PNG football all those years this past Saturday night during the Ozen game. Those that were there know what I mean.A Great Ambassador for all things PNG.He has been and will continue to be missed.I pray for the Durham family."Laissez Les Bon Temps Roulez!!"

liltex Posted October 22, 2010 Report Posted October 22, 2010 I imagine his life was a great one to be remembered for decades and he must have had 1 great big smile to see the new upgraded reservation of today.RIP and prayers out to the family and his close friends.We'll meet again 1 day in a new glorified body and it'll be a celebration as there will be no strangers.
