Carl Kasell was kind. Not “nice” but KIND. And Gregory Peck dignified but also funny. And well into his 70s, along w/ his beautiful wife Mary Ann, he enjoyed life the way a 25yo is supposed to. He was one of the warmest and coolest people I’ll ever know.

NPR Newscaster Carl Kasell Dies At 84, After A Lifelong Career On-Air

Kasell brought unflappable authority to the news, but he also had a lively sense of humor, revealed late in his career when he became the judge and scorekeeper for Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!
