THIS SHOULD INSPIRE ANYONE NOT TO GIVE UP: MAN HAS GIFT OF VOICE

The Columbus Dispatch discovered a homeless man along Ohio's I-71 claiming to have "the God-given gift of voice." His name is Ted Williams, and he's an ex-radio announcer according to the note he scrawled on a piece of cardboard that he uses to solicit change from drivers. And wow, does Williams ever deliver for a dollar. Williams tells the Dispatch about his struggles, but thankfully "alcohol and drugs and a few other things" haven't diminished Williams' velvety vocal cords, and he says he's two years clean now..
"I have a god given gift of voice. I'm an ex-radio announcer who has fallen on hard times. Please! Any help will be greatfully appreciated. Thank you and God bless. Happy holidays," reads Williams' roadside sign for help..
Like Williams, the radio industry has fallen on hard times in the past decade, but given the viral power of this video, we expect more than a few morning show and late-night appearances, and perhaps even a job, will be in Williams' near future. In fact, Reddit reports that Ted was already been tracked down by Columbus area radio show the Morning Zoo and appeared on this morning's program, and even found time for an interview with CBS' "The Early Show":.
Now I hear he may have been offered a full time job. Wow 4 million hits on youtube in just one day. This is why the internet has changed the game forever. The good news is I'm glad he is back on his way. The bad news is someone could have gotten all the voice overs they needed for cheap.

UPDATE: Ted Williams was offered a job within one day to be an announcer with the Cleveland Cavalier organization and they are buying him a house to get on his feet. Wow that's as about as good as hitting the lottery.
