The Voice of Franklin Field passed down

Penn football fans might remember our fall supplement cover story on the Voice of Franklin Field, C.T. Alexander, who retired this season after 50 years of service to Penn. If not, take a few minutes to read it — it was one of the best pieces of writing the DP put out last year (in fact, our Alumni Association voted it the best of the year).

Well, I've got some good news to share. During the football season, it wasn't clear who would be C.T.'s replacement. I've been informed today that his son and longtime sidekick John Alexander will be Franklin Field's next Voice.
