Ron de Lugo PTdised
for Outstanding Job
Announcing Comes

Almost everyone who listen
ed to Ron de Lugo, announcer
for VISTA, has nothing but
the highest praise for his
broadcast of the games during
the recent series.
Ron was unbiased; he didn't
elbow hot" for st. Thomas &
I"cold" for st. Croix. Just lis
tening to him one could never
tell whether he resided in st.
Thomas or ST. Croix. When
ever he saw. a good play he
almost outdid the famous
sports announcer Ted Husing
who got SO excited at a prize
fight that he was saying "he's
up he's down" forgetting to
say who was up or down. In
other words Ron packed a
a real "wallop" in his descrip-
ton Of the games.
